The demon weed started me, Down a path of misery. Other demons followed, The pills that I swallowed. The demon LSD How it altered me. Demon alcohol, Was the worst one of all. Cocaine was a demon That took my powers of reason. Crystal methamphetamine, From this demon I could not stay clean. The powers of energy it promised me; I already had internally. On it I felt no pain; From it nothing I could gain. Lying to myself, friends and family. Of these amends I make I have a quantity. Those I held near and dear, Knew only pain and fear. They loved me beyond compare, But I didn�t see, hear or care. These demons I could let cost me, My loved one�s for all eternity. Wanting to change from this life of woe; I pray to God I can make it so. For all my wrongs I can make amends, Before my life miserably ends. These demons I let steal my life; I do not wish it on your family, friends or Wife. So, dear God, my friend, please take my heed; The pain I�ve suffered you do not need. To my higher power I do pray, Away from these demons I can stay. I pray for serenity, courage and wisdom; In my past I have had none. Myself I have only to blame, For these demons caused me only shame. My life I do not want to end, My dear God, my wrongs, allow me to mend. Dear God, my future do not take; My friends, family, loved ones do not take. One day at a time from this day forth, These demons I�ll not let be my source. Of my happiness, pain, pleasure or misery. Please, dear God, please allow me, To escape these demons of woe and sorrow. Please, dear God, grant me a chance, For a different tomorrow. Brett November 1995
