State of Mind

Plagued by darkness Marked for death No grip on life Controlled by meth He drove into a sea Of shame, pain, and worry Altered state of mind Reality now blurry Scared of what the critics May say to his face Disgraced by the lies Locked inside a dreadful place Outside he seemed alright But inside his soul was screamin Fighting a mental battle To try and shake the demon Counseling and efforts Made on his part Guided to the light With a brand new start For over a decade my uncle Was so blind Now sitting in the church With a fresh state of mind
