Goodbye
I must say goodbye to my addiction
And goodbye to the violence
In my heart.
Saying farewell to my
Former self.
It may be difficult,
At times,
But it's just the start
To a new journey
Of the heart.
Where pain no longer taints
The pattern of my life's quilt.
There comes a time for acceptance.
To accept joy into my heart,
As it bursts through
The icy walls
That are surrounded by doubt.
I must stop,
I must dive head first into recovery,
To say hello to
A new version of me.
