Higher Power

I found myself lost again, 
inside my bitter mind; 
Reliving the past, dreading the future; 
and feeling so unkind. 

My brain can be so brutal, 
when I stay inside my head; 
My emotions can run wild, 
My addiction wants to be fed. 

How do I get outside my head? 
How do I find sweet rest? 
How do I fight temptation, 
always putting me to the test? 

How can I find strength, 
inside my feeble soul? 
How do I find the peace I need, 
to once again feel whole? 

Alone I know I am doomed, 
the past destined to repeat; 
Higher power hear my prayer, 
as I kneel before your feet.
