The war within is over
Thank God
I can finally sit back with ease
I don't have to struggle
No matter what is going on now
Doesn't have to be the end of the world
I'm not looking for attention no more
I would bend over backwards to be liked
I don't have to do that no more
It feels good
I have found a little piece of heaven
It's in the way I view things now
I have found quite of bit of beauty
Just look at Mother Nature
And how she envelopes us with her loving wings
I find it comforting life isn't counting my mistakes
But how I'm living in the truth
If I lie, cheat, and steal
I can believe my life will be ****
Karma will make sure of that
I've been at the very bottom many times
Suicide was looking mighty tempting
It's when I was at my lowest point
That God was there to rescue me
I'm not saying I live my life perfectly
There's a lot of room for improvement
My obscenities are one of my character flaws
How I do revel in cussing
But I feel God turns the other way
And shakes his head
Hoping I will let go of my ***** mouth
But if that' the only thing He has to worry about
Then there is diffently something wrong
How I do like the fact my mind isn't racing
That it has slowed down quite a bit
That I do find moments of peace
And never know I just might find happiness
But I feel happiness comes from doing the right thing
