I fold my shaking hands and hang my weary head <br />Praying one day I will be able to leave my past behind <br />God help me understand how to face these trials <br />And in the end be able to keep my peace of mind <br /> <br />There have been those who have mistreated me <br />Taunting control and power, breaking me at their will <br />Sometimes when I think about these horrific events <br />It makes me want to grab the OxyContin and swallow every last pill. <br /> <br />I fold my shaking hands and hang my weary head <br />Praying one day I will be able to leave my past behind <br />Until that day I will forge ahead with this never ending fight <br />Battling demons, struggling to have them confined<br /><br />C.R.
