Thank You, Dear Devil
Dear Devil,
Thank you for sin
Thank you for beer and bad decisions
Thank you for encouraging me to steal that twenty
The old man dropped
It paid for pizza
Thank you for my first arrest
Thank you for my second arrest
Thank you for my ****
Thank you for teaching me how to make bad decisions
And how to be happy I made them
Thank you for selective hearing
When I know someone is begging for help
Thank you for my father’s fists
And my mother’s manipulation
I have taken both with me
And they serve me well
Thank you for inventing rock bottom
If I could fall forever
I’d be in hell already
Thank you for nooses made of bungee cords
I only blew out my knee when I hit the bottom of my dry well
And I gasped at the choke of where I found myself
Before I shot back out
Thank you for self inflicted sand paper refinement of my soul
The grass is always greener after you **** it
I am thankful to see it grow back
Thank you for showing me what not to do
So I can decide to be better
Dear Devil,
Thank you and,
PS
You are a really ****** friend
