FIGHTING ADDICTION

OVERCAME

In the depths of despair, where shadows reign,

A soul once shackled by the grip of pain.

Through the haze of addiction, a journey untold,

A story of triumph, of courage bold.

At rock bottom's pit, where hope seemed lost,

A spark ignited, no matter the cost.

With each step forward, a mountain to climb,

Yet with each victory, a glimmer of time.

Through the battles waged against the demons within,

A spirit emerged, refusing to give in.

For within the heart, a strength untold,

A resilience unyielding, a fire to behold.

With each day's dawn, a new beginning,

A chance to break free, the cycle spinning.

For though the road was long and steep,

The promise of freedom was worth the leap.

And so, with each passing day, the shadows recede,

Revealing the light, the soul's true need.

For in the journey from darkness to light,

A spirit found solace, in its own resolute fight.

To all who struggle in the throes of addiction's grasp,

Know that hope is real, and freedom at last.

For though the path may seem daunting and steep,

You have the strength within you, to rise and leap.

So hold onto hope, and never let go,

For you are stronger than you could ever know.

With courage and perseverance, you'll find your way,

And overcome addiction, to greet a brighter day.
