Craving Recovery
I long for, Hope, Seek and Crave
My spot in the sunlight;
The light upon my face.
I avoid my pitfalls, the using,
Submission into what I crave.
I feel weak inside,
But I know it is now; I must be brave.
I sense it all around me,
No matter how far I try to escape;
That using with freedom and happiness
Is a luxury I no longer can create.
To drink, to use, would surrender my soul.
But today I find myself surrounded
With support, strength and hope.
I have a sort of strength inside me;
Guiding me from within.
I look to the future with uncertainty
But today I simply must begin.
