Emily

Even in the midst
  Of humility and shame
   She refuses to allow life
   To continue the same
Many mistakes have been made
   This, she cannot deny
   But her regret was evident
   Each time she would cry
In her darkest hour
   She has seen the light
   Through the shadow of doubt
   Which once robbed her of sight
Looking now through sober eyes
   Seeing what’s fallen apart
   She swears to redeem herself
   For those she holds close to heart
Yearning to make amends
   Her past, she will rise above
   To prove she’s capable
   Of compassion and love
