Twelve Steps Towards Redemption

 I forfeit all my worldly ways

I seek the help I need

I start anew, the ground afresh,

I plant a different seed.

I cannot hide here anymore,

Here there is no light,

It seems in all my nights of dark,

I lost what meager sight,

I had before, oh woe is me,

Oh pity here, the fool, 

Who did indeed once play the game,

Committed to the cool.
