Through Flames of Retribution
Created by Chad Langgle
- Through flames of retribution and the smoke of our lives that blind I see a vivid image of the one to lead me from my self destruction When graced by the creator to have a love one that encompasses all This is how I feel for my savior the one who touched by flame will never burn I was lost to not be found but I was discovered by a goddess of love and mercy To be raised up as equal when you don't value oneself, its a hard thing to imagine And yet.. Its been done. For when I met you my heart soared on chained and broken wings to fly amongst the clouds of you love. You put wind beneath me and push me to be better then I was the day before. I love you.
Chad’s writing carries the rawness of lived experience and the sincerity of someone trying to become more than his past. He writes about mental health, fear, faith, identity, and the longing to be seen beneath the inked-over armor of who he once had to be. His words reflect the way he is trying to rebuild himself piece by piece—no longer through violence or reputation, but through honesty, reflection, and the search for connection.
He believes the greatest offering he has is his story. He writes in the hope that his life can be understood, that someone might see beyond what the world has marked on him, and that his journey might help someone else who feels alone in their struggle. His work stands as a testament to a man trying to change from the inside out—one sentence at a time.
