I lost what I had
and now I'm trying to get it back
but it seems like when I try
you just put me under attack
I'm not going to run around
and pretend that I'm all fixed
but I've got nothing left to hide
I'm not caught up in the mix
The mix of all the other things
going on around this town
it's all too crazy
one day a smile will replace this frown
So leave your callous remarks
at the door or in you head
I don't need this kind of energy
so stop with the things you've said
I'm so sick of being put out
like I'm some sort of devil
when you know that I'm working
my way up to the right level
So either be here for me
while I get well and mend
or leave me alone for good
I don't have a lot of time to spend
I would never leave your side
through the good times OR bad
but I sit here and feel you judge me
Well, I think that's pretty damn sad
So this is the last chance I'm giving you
to hear what I have to say
take it, leave it, or if you need to
fold you're hands together and pray
I doubt you take this to heart
but I'm leaving that up to you
I have this righteous feeling
I'll end up with a transcendent view

- Comment from author about the poem: As I was going through recovery I found that many people, including some family members, were shying away from me instead of helping. I decided at that point I needed to re-evaluate my life completely- including the people in my life. Its hard to let go of the people you love, but it is sometimes necessary to do so for your own good.

I want to say that it takes courage to look inside and stand for what you feel is right; but it also takes bravery to see beyond appearances and take a closer look of what is around you, it may surprise you and make you smile, if you are willing to listen.
Best
