Breathe

The gift of recovery, is a gift like no other.
A breath of fresh air.
I bounce back. I recover.
No longer tied to my shadow.
Once upon a time it was my lover. 
It's the feeling of spring just a few days in.
Couldn't bear to go back to a life full of sin.
Would of been ok except I could never seem to win. 
I check mate on the game. 
Level up proper.
I'm just glad to be here.
I'm one of the lucky ones who got to recover.
