Hi there. I wrote this poem a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to share it with you all. I hope it helps you with your journey through sobriety.
The Power within.
The hand was dealt
The future sealed.
Violence was my norm.
Fear trickled through the cracks
Of my protective home.
My mother couldn't help me
She had to lock her door
For her self-preservation
Any room for just one more?
Alone i walked
Alone i hid
Alone i cried
But learnt...
That life was just suvival
In a cold and friendless world.
Tick tock tick tock
The clock moves on
And i grow very tall
But the child still remains
Locked on the wrong side of the door.
Ill equipt with teenage tools
I go in search of something fresh
I find it in a glass and pills
And a new life begins.
In a haze of drugs i fly
But the current always lurks
Engulfing me in black.
I sink, i float
I float, i fight
The years go by
I lose my light.
I fall, i drown
My breath is almost gone.
Then something happens quite profound.
A power finds my hand
It pulls at my resistance
It shouts in my deaf ears
It looks through my blind eyes
And says...."your'e here."
I'll help you learn to love yourself.
I'll teach you how to care.
You really have it all
But decided life's not fair.
Now you have some sober days
Your mind has never been so clear.
Your'e ready to unlock your own door
And throw it open wide.
I will let you drop your mask
To reveal the hidden fear
And i will make you realise
My power is in here...♡
Today you have a choice
Today you have a path
So don't wait to hug a tree
Don't wait to kiss the moon.
Just breathe and hold on tight
For one day you will be gone
But for now it's NOT good night.
I hope you like it.....its my life! All the very best to you my friends. Bella xxxxx
