Despair
Pitch, dark despair -
Where is he? Why did he
not show up like he said he would?
Pissed off

Phone rings
Was wrong number -
Blood pressure rising, rage
It's no big deal, there'll be others.
Damn it!

Doorbell
"Wanna get high?"
Just this time, nothing more
Euphoric sensation, numb soul -
Remorse

What now!
Wife and kids leave
for a much better life
They will be back, they always do
Denial

That's it!
So sick and tired
about being sick and tired -
With God's good grace I will have peace
Amen
