Life

sometimes i am afraid to open my eyes, scared of what i will see
a life full of mistakes, regrets and bad choices that i knew was never right for me
i became someone use to hate
but now i see all the pain i have caused i am able to relate
i screwed up alot and god knows that i cant go back 
i just need to start my recovery so i can get my life back on track
i need my family the ones i pushed away
because they are the ones that actually worried each and everyday
never knowing if they would get a visit.or a call saying i was dead
im sure that the thoughts were played over and over agian in there head
these things a family should never have to endure
so letting them know im truly sorry is the only thing i must do for sure
its time to be the wife, daughter, sister i know that i can be
because i want a family and there really gonna need me
so here i am taking these steps to lay the drugs down 
cause i am still to young to end up six feet underground
so off to prison i go with loved ones by my side
so i can be a better person and learn my  lesson on this ride

Karley, I like the message in your poem. "Do not forget that true love sets no conditions; it does not calculate or complain, but simply loves". Karol Józef Wojtyla (aka Pope John Paul II, born this day in 1920.
