Mark W. Poet Rhyme

Kicked Through

Knock knock I kept knocking at addictions door
Each knock feeling as if only they were knocked

Days turned to weeks with little to no progress
I kept knocking at the door so well locked

Failure after failure I became its expert
I’ll try my elbows at this door so blocked

Do I ask for help or do I seek wisdom in thyself?
I throw my whole body at the door only to get mocked 

One day I tell myself this door will loosen up
I try to knock softer in this never-ending deadlock

6 months go by I begin to stop myself before blackout
Still the door remains but it doesn’t seem so landlocked

Another three months I dwell in shame
Turning to prayer I fear God sees me as King of Gawk

Faith is all I have left to throw at the door 
Then one day I no longer feel mocked

Finally a year later later I regain my goal of goals
Persistence and faith finally made this door unlocked
