I lived a life of hatred and fire,
never thought i could live without wire,
my life was full of pain,
but im not going to blame,
I picked up that pipe and smoked it
became addicted to it
and started slammin it,
it was easy to live
life wild and free
not giving 2 shits about responsibility,
I thought i was just being me,
Turns out theres a whole other side of me,
I live to love and love to live,
my life is full of change and encouragement
Im learning to be a mother,
sister,
a daughter
a child of the creater
a member of society
a part of the community,
i got a willingness to live
and never forget who i am ever again.

Very good write! Good for you for being in recovery! That's awesome!
thank you its my first published and i write alot of dark but decided to try something new
We get a lot of dark poetry. But you can only post once a day. Try one sometime! 🙂 Especially if it's cathartic and helps with the healing process.
Thanks for bearing your cross in this first, encouraging post of yours. May the grace of your testimony and resolve to beat this evil of addiction be your stepping stone into the art of love and poetic beauty. Bonded in God and poetry, this brother has got your back in prayer.
