My Renaissance
Desperate circumstances brought me here.
Unwavering hope keeps me here.
My drug-induced self is not who I know myself to be.
Challenges I once tried to escape I now want to embrace.
Trembling with anticipation of the new journey I can begin.
Terrified of the temptations that I know I will be faced with, but at the same time I feel a confidence in my ability not to succumb.
Not to weaken for all for the dead, the devastatingly numb.
Intoxicated with this concoction of sunshine and smiles.
From this potion of life I will sip slowly, so as to not become overwhelmed to the point of an illusion of security.
No longer disturbed by the reflection of me
The person I now see in the mirror is full of life and beauty.
I am now able to accept my faults and progress with my strengths.
I am now completely free
