Salvation

In the dark, Mindlessly walking
Something was lurking, constantly stalking
The gravity of my soul was Pulling me down
Hell was on earth, this I found

Hesitant and afraid
I sat on the third row
Intense concentration
On the smoke he would blow
Decided to return
To cleanse myself of shame
I Began to crave it
The more often I came

One day I found myself surrounded by light
Mind thinking clearly and perfect sight
The stalker was gone.  His presence had vanished
Relentless faith now, without it I'm famished
