Ashamed

Burning bridges & broken hearts
Drug addiction is where it starts
Consumed my life, just like a storm
With my first high a thief was born
There is no truth, you might of heard
A lie was told with every word
Decisions were made at an extreme
Done some things, I couldn't of dreamed
It's hard to say sorry but I'll try
Was a piece of  & can't deny
Had no respect or any remorse
headed for death on a crash course
Up until the day I got the day I got busted
There's no way I could of been trusted
All my emotions & feelings were gone
couldn't be depended or counted on
Didn't know what I was capable of
Put my daughter at risk because of a drug
I can't believe it, I'm so ashamed
Have no excuse, I except all the blame
Only thing to do now is make a change
Must forgive my self in exchange
It's time I put my foot on the ground
Never to late to turn it around

Derek, a poem about hope after hitting the bottom of the well. There is only one way out and that is reaching upwards to be free of the drug addiction. ~ Sonia
