Life's been tougher than me,
I suffer and grieve,
I struggle to uncover the deeper meaning of peace.

I'm troubled for sleep,
Lord give me faith -
to believe is to see,
to be loved is to breathe.

For my beloved I breathe.

You deserve a better version of me,
I'm merely existing;
constantly drowning myself in Bourbon whiskey.
I've been baptized by my demons,
chastised with the heathens,
yet I'm blessed to have you on standby;
patiently waiting in the Garden of Eden.
