[Husky]

I'm addicted to the sight of a sharpened knife,
And I can't seem to control my fucked up life,
Whether it be discomfort, stress, or even happiness,
It all seems to end in this world of selfishness.

I came straight out of my mother's womb,
I dug her grave at nine and egged her tomb,
My Father still loved me, as Fathers do,
But his grave was dug, of course for him too.

I was on my own at the age of eleven,
Went on through life, without the belief of Heaven,
Had no thought about it, just thought it was shit,
So my life still led along, in that never ending pit.

My sweet sixteen was held in a trailer park,
Everything was musk, the sky blackened and dark,
I got a few packs of cigarettes, some whiskey and a bong,
This elderly lady had started singing a song.

I listened to the song, there was no sign of a flaw,
Everything was perfect, I just stood there in awe.
"Fall seven times, stand up eight,"
"You've bent your time-line, now make it straight."

She sang with such clarity, such passion, such pride,
I thought of my dream life, my wanted love and beautiful bride,
I thought of the challenges that came at my way,
I knew I would start over..... I started to pray.

While I prayed I listened to her creative lyrics,
Her sincere words had meaning, for they were not gimmicks.
The chorus came in beautifully, a bystander sat up and whistled,
For this first time I cried in happiness, slowly my dozen tears trickled.

When I woke the next morning, and saw all my gifts,
I smashed them into pieces, little tobacco particles airlift,
When everything was great, a man had come behind,
Had stabbed my back, I knew I was confined.

I'd payed the price, but luckily survived,
I remembered what I wanted, I knew I would strive,
I got out of the hospital and ran to the Church,
I didn't have to do anything, God led my search.

When I sat there thinking of all the time gone,
I felt like an idiot, I knew drugs were finally done,
I sat there loving what gift was all mine,
My body, my spirit, of all things divine.

Please, tell me what I can do to make it better. I kind of went through it quickly, but correct me otherwise.
