I have been through
the fire
of
addiction.
enslaved
for years
by 
an illusion.
a monsterous
ugly
beast
revealed
leaves me
battered
broken 
and 
bruised.
I crawl away
with 
my life
I have
been
to
hell.

Beata Agustin Date: 4/6/2024 6:16:00 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
