Mixed Blessings

It’s sad how I found out

 That a good heart can go bad

It’s true that I’ve grown

 From the heartaches I’ve had

 

It’s good that I see

 That what’s happened to me

As a blessing from God

To a certain degree

 

Without God I would be

 Strung out for sure

Thinking that somehow

The drugs were the cure

 

Next to my bed

Would be a revolving door

With nameless faces

Who would use me some more

 

But that’s not the direction

 That I choose to go

Instead I’ve chosen God

And with him I will grow

 

I notice the lessons

That he’s teaching to me

As building blocks for my spirit

That will set my soul free

 

No longer a slave to addiction

And shame

No longer a token

 For othere’s to blame

 

So…..thank you God

For forgiving my sins

This is now where

My new life begins

I thought it was wonderful. I dont' know where you intended to go but I think you ended up in a great place. The title truly tells the story. It is sad but then it's not (make sense?). It actually quite beautiful. Great job Mr L ;)
