Aided by autumn
Spring relapses to winter.
How strange are His ways!...

mentally  
broadsided
subconscious 
unrestrained 
causes 
habitual
relapses into 
vice regression 
each time the 
conscious mind
starts to wounder...

Surgical reviews, 
notwithstanding, 
relapses of cliche 
should be confined 
to private journals, 
read once, 
with delusional sighing, 
then burned to prevent 
the spread of infection....

FRANTIC, RUN 
DOWN THE HALLS OF LIFE 
LISTEN TO THE WALLS SPEAK 
TESTIMONY RELAPSES 
OUT FROM THE PAINTINGS
CANDLES VAGUELY LIGHT OUR VISION
I WISH I HAD A HAND TO HOLD
FEAR RUSHES IN WITH THE SCREAM 
OF GHOST ATTEMPTING TO TACKLE 
OUR FRANTIC RUNNING 
RUN, RUN GET THROUGH THIS HELL 
MOTHER TORTURE 
ERASE THIS DREAM I HAVE FALLEN INTO
PLEASE !!!!!...

Let my words
be my words, penned true
from my being-ness,

Let my words 
be consistent
with open-ness

Let my words
be profusely scribed
with no relapses in between

Let my words
be of harmonious sound
throwing no slander around 

Let my words 
make reason
to the rhymes

Let my words
have logic
flowing along the lines

Let my words
be pleasing to hear
for the listening ear

Let my words
be my words of prayer
spoken from my mind....

I feel myself faltering,
Slowly slipping,
The facade is falling.
I suck at pretending
To be okay,
When I want to give up. 
I feel like an eff up.
I can’t afford to fail.
I’ve got too much to lose,
To throw in the towel now.
I am strong,
Relapses do not define me.
I can still shoot for sobriety,
Save me a seat to the show.
I just had to rewind a little,
I’m not done yet,
My journey continues on,
Because I can overcome
This and anything.
Let recovery win,
Wake up,
me....
