The Lament Of The Damned

A Poem by Sean Gorley

I wrote this after I left home. My childhood was pretty rough.

When you’ve been to the depths of hell
And come back into the light,
With death as your only companion
and sorrow as your song;
When the word that cannot be said
Has been spoken;
When all promises have been broken,
and your soul lies shattered;
When the years lie heavy on your shoulders,
and the scars of your battles stand testament to the truths you’ve found;
The road out of hell lies behind you,
But your journey has just begun.
The road to salvation is harder won.
