Day 3

Is there a difference 
Between you
And me?
You with nine hundred and ninety nine days
And me 
With three?

Somehow I am  here
Despite a large amount
Of crazy unfounded fear

I hear you say 
How the steps you work
Helps you each and everyday

If I could get away with it
I’d use again
Please Lord 
Provide me with a little more Zen

Honesty, open mind, and will
Maybe that will stop me
From seeking
That thrill

So I turn to you and say
Thanks for sharing
Just for today

I can put aside our differences
And unite
For a common purpose
To win this fight

Because I don’t want to use
Makes me a grateful member
Just like all of yous
