My one true love
A little round pill
Chasing the high
No matter the cost
Little did I know
I was lost
Putting my obsession before
Friends, family, myself
Jobs destroyed
Spirit misguided
A family's mistrust
I knew something
Was wrong
Walked into the rooms
Searching for better
Defeated and broken
I heard over and over
This insidious disease
Can be arrested
I must surrender
Surrender is not a weakness
It's a sigh of relief
My white flag
A fresh start
Just for today
I can be clean
We can do it together
My name is Oliver
And I am an addict

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
