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
