Atonement

He was strong

But like to make himself bleed,

Had it all,

But refused to believe

What others saw

He could never come

to see

Lived in constant fear and sorrows’ endless grief

A rabbit caught in the fence

Since he was three

Gnawing at his limbs

Hoping to be free

Surviving predators that

Stalk him while he sleeps

Never knew

Over his head, heaven

kept him covered

While he slept

In perfect peace.
