You entered my life it seems like so long ago,
I got hooked on you fast, never wanted to let you go.
Appeared in my life, when I was at such a dark point.
When everything in my life was painful, there only to disappoint.
I remember the day so clearly, a friend brought you along.
I remember the old cliche, how can something so right be so wrong.
Was it a temptation of the Devil or just a reality of life?
Fits so perfectly in this world, of darkness and strife.
Whatever the reason, your path was brought into mine.
I lost my former self with the act of that one line.
Who I was to become became dependent on you,
Distortion took control of fantasy and what's true.
Months became years and before long--a decade.
Dreams of a future and success instantly began to fade.
What did I aspire to be, I often wonder..
Whatever it was, it's gone now under this powerful fist I'm under.
How did I lose control, a fate I used to see as a weakness.
Only for those who lived their lives in Darkness.
Do I dare call them Demons, who possess me with hatred.
Not worthy of any God now, only turned away from anything that's Sacred.
I've tried to break free, God as heard my pleas.
I've been brought to despair, the ground met my knees.
Please forgive me of a choice I made so long in the past.
I feel like Hell and Darkness is where I've been cast.
I'll give back whatever mercy you give unto me Lord,
I won't make my pen stronger than my sword.
I know I've been a traitor to my word,
I've become a liar, and unreliable, from many I've heard.
If you take this powerful addiction away,
To you, my life and my soul I will offer as pay.
Created to sin, please don't punish me for that instant of sin,
Don't turn away, my words are sincere, please try to listen.
If you have the power to perform miracles and the like,
I know you can bless your choosing and the others you will strike.
I've made it this far, and for this I don't know if that's good.
I try to tell myself not to give up, often times it seems like I should.
I've lost my former dreams but I'm willing to make new ones.
But not under these circumstances, all potential success and prosperity shuns
What if I make a difference, one day when I recover.
In someone else's life, I will be testimony that there's a better life to discover.
But first, you must make this life of mine something worth living.
Only then, will I have something to offer and worth giving.
I promise you, Lord, and I haven't asked for much.
Please soften your wrath and bless me with just one touch.
Touch that will deliver sobriety and make the craving disappear.
End the addiction, that I now live my life in fear.
You won't be sorry, Lord, and you'll be touching another soul.
There's another life this addiction is inflicting its toll.
Before this drug came into my path and destroyed.
I had given birth to my son who is such a sweet little boy.
He has been dealt unfair cards, his dad absent often.
At least to him and his life, your wrath must soften.
All children are innocent and their life precious as gold.
They shouldn't be punished because their parents took the wrong road.
So, please if not for me, then for him will you have mercy on his soul.
Then I can live the last of my life comforted that his life is safe in your hold.
There's my plea, one final request.
To rid me of this disease called addiction, and my battle to win a success.
