Recovery Poem by Dave L.
"I Created This poem When I was in a Rehab. I Would Like To Dedicate This Poem to All in Recovery and All Who Wish to Recover with Either Drugs, Alcohol, or Any Other Addiction"
There's a time I remember, A time I had Fun
No stress and no worries, When I was Young
Many moments of joy, Hanging out by the Sea
Many moments of Freedom, Many places to Be
As I grew Older, Some friends that I Met
We all started Using, For that I Regret
As Time went by Quickly, I used & Drank More
I soon Realized, It's the Booze I Adore
Problems with Family
And friends all the Time
My pain and my suffering
These faults are all Mine
The fun I once Had
Seems so distant and Far
My reality of Life
Was a lost distant Star
My pride and my Ego, So shameful to Be
This life I Created, Just wasn't Me
Relapse and Rehabs, Were right in my Site
My future I Created, Did not look that Bright
My soul wanted Out, Like a cough from my Breath
Jails, Institutions, And then there is Death
I woke up one Day, To get the help that I Need
To start from the Beginning, Just like a Seed
To Grow more in Spirit, Have faith and i'll See
The true unseen Beauty, That lies inside Me
There's a time I Remember, A time I had Fun
I want that all Back, It has to be Done
With hard work and much Effort, The future I See
My reward for not Using, HAS NOW SET ME FREE ! ! !
