DEALING WITH ADDICTION |
Now that I am truly clean,
and have my eyes, both, open wide,
I'm seeing things I'd never seen,
and trying things I'd never tried.
I think of how it used to be,
The crazy way I use to live,
The things addiction took from me,
impacting me so negative.
Financially it sucked me dry.
It filled my life with endless pain.
Amazing that I didn't die
Or lose my mind and go insane.
Since, my urge, I learned to tame,
Since I've cleaned my altered mind,
No longer do I live with shame.
My happiness I daily find.
I used to wish my past erased;
That way of thinking hurt me worse.
I see, now, it is boldly faced,
That I might get beyond its curse.
The lie is finally laid to rest.
The truth, amen, has set me free.
My past is out and all confessed.
Now to be a brand new me.
