Countercurse of the lost souls


I am lost and alone I turned my back on everything right Chose the path of never ending plight Drug abuse, Atheism, Sex before marriage I ran head first into a Bull I could not manage Graduated early with high hope and aspiration But quickly the drugs took over and filled me with indignation No job, No money, No future for a fool Why me?! I must have cried a thousand times before But then a blessing and a curse came charging right at me Knocking me down from my high horse so I could see properly From my lowest point I looked up at all I had adored These friends weren't friends They had made me different than before It was time now, to permanently close that door I am strong, I am willing, I know I can win this intrapersonal fight For He is now with me, Oh, but he said smiling, I never left your sight.
