Rising up from the ash’s

Recovery is possible

By Dawn McWhorter Published 4 years ago 1 min read

My walls are crashing down

around my feet my heart is

reaching out from beyond the

grave my words are being

spoken all around the world I

am a Phoenix rising from the

ash's of my old ways my fears

are leaving me my strength is

growing my life is changing a

new day is coming a second

chance at a whole new

beginning! RECOVERY IS

POSSIBLE. All is new all is bright

Always changing always turning. The hardest battle I face is the old way and new of life. Every single day I wake up feeling as a stranger. I look so much different than just a year ago. I think differently I act differently I move differently today. The monster I once knew so well is slowly becoming a faded memory of days gone by. The fire of destruction I once light and played in has changed my inner most core. I am a phoenix my soul rises from the ashes that I once called my life. I step out into the nights air reborn and perfect for tonight is my night to rise above all my fears and for once standing my ground with my head held high.
