What have I become

Who is this person staring back at me

How did I get this far

Where did I go wrong

Questions circling in my head

I can't stop the thoughts from spinning

Reflections look like me

My soul tells a different story

Regrets encapsulate me

I died a long time ago

I feel somber and cold

When did I spin out of control

I know when I changed its when you changed

A piece of me died that day

Will I be like you one day.

Then I see a shimmer a glimpse of light

Like the twinkle of a distant star

I search harder and find you, I find hope

Hope not in myself but faith in you alone

Digging out of the grave was hard until I realized that you already set me free

It's you who were there

Gave me a new identity.

My identity is in you

Not what I think

Not what someone said to me

Not my past mistakes

I have redemption through your blood

adopted into a new family.
