ambient dark poem poetry redemption arc unfinished vocal mixing vocals

I really wanted to submit to this but I didn't have enough time or energy to make a full track. Instead here's just the beginning, which features a poem I wrote about how I redeemed myself.



When the times began to change, I was so misunderstood
Thinking of my friends as strange, thinking not the way I should

Conversations opened swell, but before long they devolved
to corrections of the errors I was ignorant to solve

Angered by my stalwart way, my aversion they did dredge
For my crimes they swore I'd pay; "I want you to be on edge"

In the end, my friends had left me because I was too far gone
And I bore a guilt most hefty as my lonely life went on

Days and months and seasons passed before a thought threw me aloof
'Twas at this I felt begast, it had sent me through the roof

Time had flown ahead so fast, was I still of mind uncouth?
Since that day, I had amassed a greater knowledge of the truth

Recompense for my mistake was still obtainable for me
My friends' hearts I would unbreak; I yearned to see them filled with glee

Once upon a sunny day, I invited them to this
It's with gratitude I say they had once again felt bliss

This discussion which we shared had quelled a lasting inner war
I discovered words repaired all negativity before

Not alone I henceforth stood, treating all with due respect
Had I not, I never could have made new friends in retrospect

Let us hip hip and hooray for the story's happy end
It is with you all today that I find myself a friend
