Notes About The Poem
My Future Self Powtry Contest
Sponsored by Unseeking Seeker
Form: Trimeric
Note: I became addicted to opioid, as many, many people have over these past years, after a car accident and injuries that required me to take them for a long period of time. Common enough story, I know. It's so sad. My doctor sent me to a recovery clinic which I've visited once a month for over 6 years now. I've been opiod/drug free with no relapses for 6 years now, Praise God! I'm working through the shame and regret feel about it in therapy as well. If you struggle with this addiction, I encourage you to seek help! There are so many resources now that can help you recover from this DISEASE called addiction. Don't be ashamed to get help. It is a serious disease that will be fatal if you don't get help and you deserve to live your best life my friend! Xoxo
My Future Self
To understand what is the present
We must gaze into the story of our past
Though it's ragged pages I lament
I can peek through fingers spread, for I know it's gone at last
We must gaze into the story of our past
See this woman with many woes
Who she's become since long ago
Though it's ragged pages I lament
Hindsight seems crystal clear
If not for faith and family, I would not still be here
I can peek through fingers spread for I know it's gone at last
The battle waged long ago yet still today I must resist
Recovery is ever with me, each new day is a gift.
