Story of my life

The story of my life .
Floating along I let life go on around me . 

I let things happen to me and dont make things happen for me .

I’ve numbed myself with drugs and alcohol for longer than I can remember .

My soul hurts from pushing all the pain and suffering to the back of my mind for so so long .

I feel like no matter what people couldn’t or wouldn’t understand me if I spoke up

Do I not know how to live, how to love, how to be happy ?

Am I just to damaged to be a good person anymore, has it gone on for to long .

I’m judged, I’m hated, I’m made to feel like I’m not good enough because of addiction .

Would it be this way if I had cancer, if I had diabetes ? 
 A disease is a disease .

Tell me how terrible I am and how much I’m hurting those around me, it just confirms my horrible opinion of myself .

Don’t accept my promises. I’ll promise anything to get off the hook. But the nature of addiction prevents me from keeping my promises, even though I mean them with all my heart 

Don’t believe everything I tell you; it may be a lie. Denial of reality is a part of my addiction .

The world once was at my feet but opportunities closed and now it's a long climb back. 

I have young children and if I could lock them away from this world I would do it in a heartbeat . 

I fear that my children will one day be caught in this world and suffer the pain that I have . 

The drugs change you more than I can explain, There's no happy ending to a life like this.

I wish I had been spared of this life, this pain and this suffering . Sometimes I wish I wasn’t here . 

I know my actions carry permanent consequences and I have to live with that and know that my actions caused it.

 I want you to believe that you did not cause my addiction, and neither do you have the power to control or cure it. This that is affecting us all so bad, is bigger than all of us.

The best way you can help me is to comprehend your own lack of power over my addictions and accept that your lives too have become unmanageable as a result of it.

Having my family consumed by my addiction instead of living their own lives is not ok with me and never will be

My greatest fear is that I will never be free, that my family will never be free .

I’m scared to put myself through the pain of recovery because The pain of relapse is not something I can go through again .

The addictions have robbed me of willpower and stolen my faith in myself . 

I am suffering pain which you could not imagine . I don’t want to hurt the ones I love, it kills me inside . 

I question myself all to often . What sort of person am I, how could I cause so much suffering to those I love ?

I believe the world wouldn’t miss me, what is there to be missed ?

I’m scared, I’m lost, I’m alone .
Im trapped inside myself .

Can you ever understand what I don’t understand myself . 

Is this me, am I destined to live this life cycling from clean to addiction . Do I have to keep doing this ?

How come me ? Why did I draw this card ?


Why ?

Trapped

TRAPPED
Reslise me from my prison  , entrapt within this haze . Caught within this cloud of smoke , reflection looking crazed . Stolen by addiction the days have turned to years . I feel the beast inside me as his feeding on my fears . My screams for help are silenced , the words replaced by pain . It calls me from the shadows it knows I can't restrain . Emerging from the sorrow of the darkness where I hide . Stepping threw the puddles , of a 1000 tears I've cried . I'm drowning in addiction held under by mky greed  . I'm trapped within this knightmare I feel I can't be freed . This demon that I speak of the beast I can't hold back . Is simply my addiction to a drug the world calls crack

My brothers keeper

Am I my brothers keeper , beside him will I stand . When I see him falling will I reach out with my hand . Will I stand beside him through battles big and small .  Am I the one he always knows will take late night call . Am I the one he speaks to, and knows with me it stays  . Will I stand beside him throw all the darkest days . I am my brothers keeper and we won’t stand alone . For we are truely brothers respect that’s set in stone . So if he can not find the strength, when he can’t carry on . Thats when I will carry him , for him I will be strong . I’ll stand with him in battle, I’ll walk with him through pain .  I’ll stand with him through thunder storms while welcoming the rain . My friend you are that brother , you are a real true friend . I’m not here a moment , I’m here until the end

Perfect for me

PERFECT FOR ME
You question my love and I fill you with doubt . 
Know your the one that I can't live without .
I'd fight the whole world if I knew I won you .
I never felt love so real and more true .
Your perfect for me  your all that I seek
Each time that I see you my knees become week
To you I'll stay true and open my soul 
The love that I'm feeling I can not control 
To me there's no other as your ment for me .
I'm blinded with love , your all that I see 
The meaning of life has now become clear 
All that I need is to have you right here
