Word Bank - Save Me From Myself

There are so many pieces 
That make up my story.
What is recovery?
Can I recover my sobriety?
Save me from myself,
I'm slipping up,
slowly sliding down the slippery slope.
Spiraling the drain,
as the snakes lure me,
Let's see how much I have let go.

Broken
Stuck on the same sound.
Save me from

Word Bank Poem

I have one unified goal,
To have my mind
And body
Work effortlessly together.,
Like one piece
To a whole.
Maybe then,
I’ll have a sound
Mind and soul.
Balance is key,

Trying to find a way 
To make instability work.
Following a righteous path
Makes the journey
A beautiful life.

Salty or sweet; I taste better with butter
Stop! Don’t touch me, until the hot wears off. 
 
Focus your ears, before you smell me burning
Firecrackers will sound "off" in the microwave.
I can taste fancy like cheese or caramel 
I'm
