The Whirlpool

Caught in a depression whirlpool

that's drowning my soul

Feigning spiritual prosperity

but lacking self control

I was pulled by desire,

a feeling of ecstasy

For a euphoria so intense,

it consumed all of me

Soon I lost control,

lost all that I had

Lied to my mother

and disgraced my dad

Then I was captured,

freedom had escaped me

Perjury in the court

because I lacked integrity

Living only to fail

in the wake of a high

Exhaling smoke pass a tear

beneath my wife's eye

Anticipaing a rush

that left faster than it came

Initiates an inner debate

of whether or not I'm sane

Confusion brought on

by emotional turmoil

Turned away from my God

even though he stays loyal!
