Just want to rest.

oh so young

my innocence no longer here

I try to find somewhere near

with ecstasy and xanny bars

I no longer know who you are

I lost myself long ago

oh what for? what’s the use

we won’t call a truce

I’m losing my mind every night

popping pills like they just might fix the blinding light

I see nothing but clouds on a sunny day

to Him I pray

Lord take me away

create in me a clean heart

restore the sinner that’s within me

filled with sickness that will never rest

people say I am blessed

all I feel is panic, aggression, and agitation

it all led to my probation

staying good to stay out of jail

who the fuck cares

that I had an affair

four years ago one winter night

you still pick a fight

til my dying breath leaves me be

maybe death will set me free

of demons to lean on.

tonight I self medicate

I feel irate

I just want to rest

I just want to rest.

    God’s love for you is far greater than the mountains that you face. Every day brings new grace, if you but trust in Him, Dani. One step at a time, one day at a time. He will lift you, if you let Him. Just lifted you in prayer. Blessings Dani.
