Abuse

i sit alone
 an excile for my past
 life slipping away
 like sands through an hour glass
 the evil deeds
 that i have done
 useing alcohol,drugs
 as a lethal gun
 pulling the trigger
 my loved ones run
 but today a new life begins
 when my little girl was only one
 she seen me useing the devil's rum
 turning i looked at her innocent face
 i fell to my knees in discrace
 i prayed
 please take these sins away
 12 years clean to this very day
