MORALE OF THIS STORY: GO HUG SOMEBODY.

Redemption

"Take him out side!
Now, Castiel!" I hear
Amongst the flames
Surrounded by fear

I remember that order
Years ago, yelled at me
But it's been awhile
Since I had any destiny.

Now with feet firmly
Planted on solid ground
I'm left to deal with
Scars that never found.

It is easy to pretend
When you're a kid
It's harder to pretend
Now with secrets hid.

I should have been
A hero, even in hell
But I can't always be.
That's where I fell.

In Sam's embrace I feel
Comfort for the first time
In my many tortuous years.
I must have lost my mind-

To think that it was easier,
To hurt every one I saw,
To just burn away pain,
But it wasn't as I thought.

I thought I had found
Redemption in my pain.
But when I see Sam
It all comes back again.

I had left his memory
When I let go of myself.
But now I am redeemed
With my brother here to help.
