You can't build a future 
if you keep tearing down 
a foundation. True, 
the liquor may speak the truth 
when it's in me, but honestly 
I see more clearly when abstinence is in me. 
About two days of sobriety
 and I feel God tickle me. 
People look at me strange 
when I laugh for no reason 
but they can't see the kingdom
 I'm building. Stick wit me, 
watch me polish this halo 
and place it where it rightfully belongs, o
n my queen's head, anonymously 
I sing heaven's praise when I say, 
"Hi, my name is T.S. and
 I've been writing for awhile.
