I used drugs for crutches, and crutches for drugs. Suffered in silence for years, never showing no love.

Something pulled me one way, something else tried tearing me apart. But no matter how hard it pulled, I never came undone.

I wrestled my own mentality, the frameworks wired into my brain. Some nights it almost drove me insane.

I sat in my silence. Faced every fear. Stared down every demon through every year.

Kept it real in my heart, kept God in my heart — the one thing the devil could never tear apart.

He wanted my thoughts. He wanted my mind. He wanted my heart. But I never gave him my time.

Every inch, every moment, he twisted and skewed to get me. But I saw it coming — clear as a TV screen.

I ain’t better than nobody. I just faced myself, went deep within, and fought monsters most people couldn’t begin to imagine.

And through it all, I learned this truth: God’s love is unconditional — been that way from the start.

I’ll never stop loving God, never stop walking with Him, not until everything goes dark.

Now my mind is focused on what’s real, on what matters. I steer clear of the fake, the personas, the masks.

They say, “He couldn’t be writing this. This ain’t coming from his mind.”

But let me tell you something — every word I speak comes straight from my heart. Written by. Kristofer Krumholtz
