Written without Redemption
Building me requires strength
I have to get and still I wait.
Empty words get loads and strains
to make me stand up straight.
Before I go out in the open air,
I’ve had my changes and repairs.
Are there flaws despite the care?
Will the outside see I’m there?
As a product of my maker’s mind
I’ve left an emptiness behind.
If those receiving me are thrilled
the means I took will be refilled.
It might require some maintenance
to keep me up with mental change.
Reworked with a fresher stance
I’ll reappear in another range.
