Debbie Middaugh Poet Rhyme

Break the Chain

If you are on your second or 
Third DUI. 
  If you have been to rehab more 
Then one time. 

  Are you messed up on drugs 
Of all kinds? 
  The chemicals raging in your 
Mind. 

  There are greater forces 
At play. 
  There is a softer, better 
Way. 

  The hustle keeps you on  
The street. 
  You have a hard time making 
Ends meet. 

  Your money goes to drugs, 
Can't pay your bills. 
  You can get out, 
Your fate Is not sealed. 

  Clear your head,  
No stinking thinking. 
  It is like quicksand, 
Keeps you sinking. 

  Your thoughts are a mess, 
Your heart enslaved. 
  It is not an easy road; 
But, you can be saved. 

  You dig deep back to your 
Youth. 
  You and the past must make  
A truce. 

  You and your monkey come 
Face to face. 
  You can remember how addiction 
Taste. 

  You can opt for change or, 
Remain the same. 
  You can ride it out or, 
Break the chain.
