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!!!
