A Long Road To Serenity
Living with an alcoholic brought pain
A supposed father never there
Leaving us to deal with the pain and fear
And only to hold on to the false hope
All of the trust and hope and love is lost
Of the man that chose alcoholism
Instead of the relationship we had
The scars of all the abuses and fear
Have set me up for the panic attacks
The came attacks from a supposed friend
Only to have taken advantage of me
Left me hear crying for somebody
I always thought that NO really meant no
Only to be convinced that i was wrong
Sat silent after multiple attacks
For years and years i'd kept it to myself
Realizing now that i had needed help
Finding the fellowship has made me sane
To help heal all the lonesome scars
As well as find a "family" that cares
I know see that my dad has been really sick
And have found serenity as well as peace
For six years and going strong i see now
My higher power and my story
Knowing since having been a little girl
Now finding help for me; recovery
Steps, people who care and the serenity
Although these scars may seem disturbing
I've found in the fellowship the real me
Surrounded by serenity and peace
To realize that i am someone unique
I know share my stories with others too
Although still a teen I know that i've found me
The person that i really want to be
The person that i am really meant to be...
