Thank You Satan For Ruining a Good Portion of My Life

I just want to thank the prince of darkness For what he’s given me Selfish dreams and ambitions A twisted sense of being free Thank you Satan For all the times I partied hard For all the times I got drunk and high But when I got arrested, were you on standby? Thank you Satan You taught me to get wild in college and do what the frat brothers and sorority sisters said Thank you for all those mornings, I woke up in a stranger’s bed Thank you so much Satan For all the fun and the sex You told me “use a condom” You told it didn’t matter who my partners were I was ill prepared for what happened next Satan I appreciate the way you made me a single mom My daughter is precious But the sad part is, I don’t whether my baby’s dad is Tony, Justin, or Tom Wait a minute, hold up! Why the hell am I showing you appreciation? You told me lies and the only thing you really did for Satan was get me to the point that I was tired of feeling empty inside and living for temporary pleasure and permanent pain So now, I live for Jesus, the one who healed the pain, forgave me for falling into your traps, and because of that I’m now born again.
