Teach me to trust—
I’m trying to now.
I’m trying to be
The holiest cow.
I’m trying to transcend
The depths below.
I’m feeding my demons
To turn them from foes
Into the greatest helpers I have.
To talk sense into me,
When I become mad.
To quiet the anger with
Sensible calm.
To become, to my heart,
The greatest of balms.
To guide me with wisdom
That comes from the soul.
To clean up the conscience and
Brighten the whole.
