The girl I use to be

To the little girl I used to be, 
I should have helped you get free . 

Remember those days we wanted to fall to the ground, and our hearts emotions weren’t aloud to be found.

Feeling anything at all made us look weak, 
Now we’re an adult and now have all sorts of unhealthy emotional accountabilities we must seek. 

I wish you could have seen that running toward adulthood was going to be we’re all the trauma and pain stood. 

You acted like you had it all figured out, 
In reality, over a decade later you had know clue what any of it was about.

You had the brightest light that shinned upon you, so beautiful,  Naïve and innocent and you knew it too. 

I’m so sorry I rushed you, and made you think you had to carry to much , as you kept quite about the uncomfortable touch.

You took all the bad and consumed it, so they didn’t have to; but let’s be honest as time went on it’s wrecked you. 

I’m sorry to the girl I use to be
It’s about time your inner child is set free.

Behind you and beside you

The feeling I have and feel is hard to explain,
I can see in your eyes you’ve been threw so much pain, but I want to know the little things. I wanna kiss you in the rain.
I want to hold you and tell you it’ll all be okay, and I want you to believe the things I say.
 I think about you everyday, I wanna be that soft safe spot for your head to lay.
I know it’s hard, the constant pain and hurt but I promise my hearts also being on alert, I didn’t know this feeling would be more then a flirt.
The women I see has all the light and I know you don’t think your worth the fight, 
I can’t wait to hold you real tight and be the one to make things alright. 
You Bettey were so unexpected, 
the moment I truly looked at you I instantly felt connected. I can’t say that I can make it all easy, and I know it sounds cheesy, but I will be here with you threw all the thoughts that seem so uneasy.
if you allow me I’ll be the one that never lets you down, and no matter what I’ll always be around. I’ll be the one standing besides you, and behind you , threw the ugly the good and the bad.

To my drug of choice, thank you!

The way I feel for you was so real 
You made the pain a little less to feel

The way you numbed all the bad things 
it was like getting relief from 100 bee stings

i surely thought you would be there threw it all
but as soon as i start to lean on you, you didnt catch my fall

i remember thinking i could hide you well, 
until you reached for my soul, they were all sure
to tell

i gave so many things up for you 
and was willing to risk my life too. 

but after years i finally caught on to
nothing but pain, i decided to
give you up of course thats the only
thing thats made my mind a bit sane

i just wanted to say thank you,  
you may have taken a year or
2 maybe even more than a few, 
but all thanks to what you put me threw 
i get to come out and be brand new

Gods Finding

At one time, we held our heads held high, but we’ve been so low doing what we had to do Just to get by.

Yes, we once lived loved and had care, and this cold cruel world threw us all we could bare.

We started using for all the fun, as time went on, it became our number one run.

We once gave someone or something or all. For them to run and leave us all to fall. 

We were all almost okay. Seemed to be emotionally sane, then we trusted and was lead to nothing but pain.

We may not be in pieces anymore, we’ve been kicked down, but we got up and started finding something worth living for. 

Sure we may be a little ridged and  little broken and we’re faithfully outspoken.

We’ve been threw hell and back  and probably pick up we’re the normal people lack.

We’re courageous and kind, in a crowd full of people, we’re the ones that god will first find.

It’s WE that will stand up to fight so that the rest of the world can remain in the light. 

I say WE because I am one. I understand that God gave his only son, but in the midst of it all, US recovering addicts have became strong and god will make sure we go tag along!

To my beautiful kids

Five and six and I’m just now starting to understand there’s things you must learn to fix.

I want to catch your every fall. Ive wanted to save you from all the pain, bumps, and bruises since the day you could crawl.

There are so many days I feel like I’m doing it all wrong, and though I’m supposed to be in the moment, I know some days seem long.

I want you guys to be each other’s rock, I want you guys to be able to lean on one another and always be there to talk.

I hope I make you feel loved, safe, and warm. But always wanted you to know not every day is sunny every now and then believe me, it will storm.

I hope I’m doing the important things right I want to teach you to always fight.

I know I make so many mistakes every day, and I wish I always had the right words to say.

I hope you both know you are my entire world, you guys have made me a better mother and I hope when I’m gone, you both will always be there for one another. 

As you get older, you’re going to have to make your own mistakes and there are going to be days you must make a choice and never forget to use your voice.

As a mother, I’m supposed to prepare you for what’s ahead, there will be sometimes my worries and my saving you must remain unsaid.

To my beautiful kids, you both are kind, beautiful, and smart, never forget to always follow your heart.
