I Refuse To Let It Win

Yes it's true,drugs are not the way to go
I'm sorry for the stress I caused, I never ment to hurt you, I really tried to stop
   Using every excuse, I ran as fast as I could, stealing from my loved ones just to make it through, drugs slowly took over ,I didn't know what to do 
   One day I saw an image, I realized it was me,I was looking in the mirror ,I cried in disbelief, how did I let this happen, why was I so weak, I hate the person I'd become I prayed for god to help me 
    I lost control of everything but what killed me finally ,was the day my kids said bye to me ,I no longer cared to breath
     I don't know how it happened, I believe I do know when all this nightmare started the day that I said yes, I placed that tool in front of me and took my very first hit, I remember like it was yesterday ,I hate myself for it 
   My story doesn't end like this ,as hard as it was for me ,I stopped making excuses and started to be brave, I refused to be another statistic ,I fought to find my way
   I needed to get my heart back ,my kids gave me the strength, I didn't make excuses ,I dealt with the pain and shame , I heald my head up high, proud of who I became, I'm glad to say I'm sober now , 
This drug didn't take me to my Grave .

My Story

My story I will tell to you in hopes that I can help, anyone who's out there who knows exactly how I felt ,
  Because of a selfish man i suffered many ways, my inosence he took from me I was only thirteen, I closed my eyes and prayed for this to finally end, I remember feeling numb, I wanted to be dead
   Never looking back at me, he disappeared in the dark, he got away with murder, my body he left in the park
  He changed my life forever,  my dreams he stole from me, I wanted to give up, I just couldn't see, how could I go on ,when a nun I planned to be
  I lost who I once was ,I bet he didn't care, this nightmare I survived caused me terrible dispare 
   I needed to forgive him , I wanted to move on, I remind myself each day that I did nothing wrong 
  I can't forget what happened ,it still causes me pain , there is always a silver lining, I know which is mine , I lived to tell a story I plan to use for good, give strength and hope to someone who has also been abused
  I do belive in miracles,  I know justice will be served, he may have used my body but he didn't take my soul, yes he won the battle but I always Win the war
