Good morning, fellow fan-fictioners. Got a new poem for ya...this one was written for the third chapter of Redemption.


People say
"Do the right thing"
As though it's as easy
As breathing
When in reality
Nothing could ever be harder

You bleed
You suffer
You die
Is it worth it?

A caged bird
Longing for freedom
When wings are broken
And heart is crushed
Hope seems far away
As dashed as the dream of flight

You ache
You grieve
You weep
Is it worth it?

Bitter tears spill from tortured eyes
Memory plagues the weary mind
An angel's plea
Whispers of safety
When the battle's over
And the pain is gone
Can he rise to greet the sun?
Can all that was wrong
Be undone?

The broken shall rise
The weary, find rest
The weak, discover their strength
The loser, march with the best

When hope is lost
And victory, crushed
Stand true

Broken wings will fly again


Well...there you have it. I can feel the inspiration building in my head like a migraine, so I'm sure you'll be seeing the third chapter soon. -Dusty
