IN RECOVERY

getting back to myself

By Cleon D Hoggard Published 4 years ago 1 min read

I remember the hopelessness the feeling of desperation

Sadness, depression, also suicidal ideation

Longing for connection while stuck in isolation

Chilling in the pit of addiction yet wanting to change

Can you understand the restriction of a negative mind frame?

When things are the same day after day

Wanting to talk not knowing what to say

To someone willing to sit with you in the dark

Yearning for love yet missing the spark

Hoping the clouds will part and some light will shine through

But there's a rattle in your chest your broken heart from the things your ex did to you

Holding on so tight to all those loving memories

Crying night after night ' just someone love me please'

Looking for an angel searching for a loving helping hand

You go to rehab and start to heal yourself the best way you can

Realizing what you were searching for was yourself all along

& no one can help you right all your wrongs

Fighting with step work & yearning to be free

So you can truly live your life and at last, feel complete
