A Summers FreedomA Poem by Addy Joel RobinA Summers Bliss I step out the black wooden door
I wouldn’t let it’s heaviness stop me this time
I used to push and push and push and the door wouldn’t budge
I would remain in the dark room
Alone
Stuck for another day
But suddenly
It lost its power against me
I could push against the door with ease
The sun’s rays kiss my cheeks a French greeting
As I step forward
The grass tickles at my feet with its dewy fingers
The pink apple blossoms land in my hair to form my summers crown
The flowers greet me like an old friend and cheer as I come near to see them again
I am content with life
But
Something calls me
Deep down I know it’s wrong
Do I really deserve Summers day
Did I deserve to be let out of the room with the black heavy door
It’s an addiction
I believe I’m not going to relapse
I can make it through the next second
I can make it through the next minute
I can make it through the next hour
I can make it through the next day
I can make it through the next week
I can make it through the next year
I can’t make it
I can’t do it
I’m called back to the door
I walk back slowly
A somber march
The flowers silence their cheers
The apple blossoms fall out of hair and joined its brothers on the ground
The grass slowly returns to its roots and the cheerfulness is gone
The sun rays kiss me a slow goodbye as I open the door
And I enter my room of torment
The black door creaks to a shut
I’m left in the darkness of my room
Not sure when I’ll leave again
