Analysis of Surrender



Reached the bottom

Nowhere further to dig

Had no answers

Something beyond  "I"

The answers are to big

Release this bondage of self

Relinquish control to life's gig

Turn it over

Past's dark doors opened

With the courage to face

What demons that may trig

In the presence of the trilogy

Purge your dirty laundry

Freeing yourself of burdens

Come a point

Where these shackles

You no longer need

Ready to remove

At foot of bed

Bend down and plead

To that beyond the "I"

To remove all that makes you bleed

Gather the names of those

Caught in your wake

Made a list

To them give back

What wasn't yours to take

With burden shed

Feel the peace that you've never knew

With gift in hand

Tale in tow

Go and share all you know

Carry the message
