Finally Free

A poem about my battle from an active drunk to a recovering, spiritual being.

A love insincere,

I felt it...

When you were near.

You held me so tightly,

A grip..

Most frightening.

I clawed at your hands,

Attempted...

To resist your demands.

I longed to break free,

To be rid of misery.

Alas...

A breeze reached my soul.

Inspiring me...

To fight your control.

Diagnosed with Alcoholism...

Providing a key...

An escape...

From your narcissism.

A love surrounding me...

I listened to the herd.

Experience, strength and hope...

Lingered in every word.

Hopeless no more,

I chose another door.

I walked through it with hope,

Sent my sins away...

In an envelope

Recovery...

Has set me free.

Allowing me…

To just sit back and be.

One day at a time,

I'm not afraid of the climb.

“Let go and let God”...

Joining the rest of the squad.

Together we stand,

Forever in God’s command.

Amen!! I normally don't like poems that rhyme too much but this was a very personal poem that I myself could feel the emotion in it. Very well written! And welcome to the squad

[Briana O'Connor]

Neither do I, but when I get an inspiration I just write it out, this is what transpired. I added in those pauses after the fact to add some depth. Thank you very much for you positive feedback and taking the time to read!
