Poem of Hope I put my pen to paper to tell you how I feel I still can not believe that this is all so real To experience this treatment is like a dream come true You've turned my dark cloudy skies into a shade of blue I'd once settle for anything I could get Lowering my standards, no boundaries were set Whoever held the drug, whoever held the power In my eyes wore the crown for the minute or the hour What have I become? A shadow for a friend For everyone I know goes away in the end The happy times I had before I realize now were sad The numbness wouldn't let me feel, my life's no longer mad Beneath the stains of time the memories disappear The past seems to sometime else the future seems so clear Emotions, thoughts, laughter and crying I'm grateful today I'm living, not dying So as I start again, old habits thrown away I wake up every morning knowing my new life's here to stay!!!
