A Resolution To Recovery
in the recognition of a fault
lies the critical step called first
and though it be difficult
still, it is not the worst
to assume that the hardest part is over
is lacking in accuracy
no one is in the clover
in the cognizance of his infancy
like an infant within a circular fence
round and round i scamper
although in my just defence
my laundry's in the hamper
this is a time for solution
a moment feared and anticipated
having potential for contrabution
i wait in a place i created
not with intention or precognition
did i live my life this way
it was taught me, and i seek intervention
my children need not be clay
molding my own self is my goal
to seek, and speak the truth
i wish to be one, and whole
enjoying life as in my youth
with my words and heart i commit
to a path that will lead to recovery
i will not ever succumb, or submit
to any distress of my discovery
i have done no harm, i can not repair
no mischief i have not revealed
i beg to abide at home, i love, i care
and with help, we can be healed
this is my plea, for them, and for me
to rejoin, and rejoice in our home
we can become, together, free
together, for i would no longer roam
hear them, hear me, here we are
come at your behest
to wish upon an American star
please grant us this request
and may you thus be blessed
with respect for persons worthy of it,
