I'm Back

The higher my peaks

The lower my valleys.

It’s easy to be the holy man on top of the mountain

But in the streets aren’t we all sinners?

Don’t we all have things that catch us up

And guilt us into starting all over?

The Devil knocks us from pro’s to beginners.

At least that’s what we tell ourselves.

The truth is that only you’ve got the power

To knock yourself to the ground or

Pick yourself back up and

Start climbing the tower

That you just fell from.

The higher our peaks

The lower our valleys.

I’ve lived my life from peak to peak,

A roller coaster of emotion and a

Constant reminder of my failure to be consistent.

I’ve done my best to keep up. Oxy can’t stop the pain.

A nose-full of Adderal couldn’t stop

My eyes from closing or keep me sane.

From spiritual authority over demons to

Not being sure if I’m awake or dreaming.

The higher my peaks

The lower my valleys.

A passion reignited, words bubbling to the surface

For the first time in years I am inspired

For the first time in years I have purpose.

Until I can thrive in the valley,

I don’t deserve the mountaintop.

I'm back.
