Spring

For many days,  I oh was so alone

 

No where to turn, scared to the bone

 

I sat in my room, my addiction my answer

 

Yet all it did was act like a cancer

 

Eating away, at all that was me

 

For ever in this dark, I would never be free

 

Day by day , more and more of me was lost,

 

Winter kept on coming, covering me in frost

 

It started off as a  warm spring night

 

Little did I know so much cold was in sight.

 

In what felt like hours, but maybe just minutes

 

My very soul pushed to its limits

 

My clothes stripped, my dignity too

 

That night I thought, I wouldn’t see it through

 

I lay there after,  for what seemed like hours

 

Imagining on my grave , what type of flowers

 

This my story, I told too late

and by that time addiction seemed my fate.

 

Winter felt like it would last forever

 

Never would I see my happily ever after

 

I still feel lost but I’ve now got some light

 

Please please realise it’s not just your fight

 

Open up and don’t be afraid

 

Come in to the light and out of shade

 

It won’t be easy I can promise that

 

But what of you they  took, is not all you’re about!

 

You’re here today, maybe not standing tall

 

But today can be the day you less and less fall

 

Start your life and begin

 

And think of times to remember when

 

A time when the sun shone ever so bright

 

A time when you weren’t alone to face the fight

 

Draw strength from the fear and use it for power

 

And move away from your darkest hour

 

As spring begins you start to thaw

 

Your days become less about fighting this war

 

Your life is your own, not those little shites
