~ This Time ~

This time , as she is escorted from the
elevator and to the exit door .
She has a date with fate and can't be late .
For her there's a new chance at life , in store .
~
The monkey be her only company when she
first arrived . Had family not intervened , upon
the scene . She surely would , have not survived .
~
She pulls down her sleeves , as she leaves so as
not to show . The needle marks that scarred
her arms , not so long ago . This time she will
put an end to it .
~
She has kicked the smack and won't look back ,
now she has found the strength and hope to quit .
This time , she will conquer the " horror of addiction " !
One day at a time , step by step . She shall beat
this sad affliction .
~
This time she will fight , with all of her might !
Though 'twill be a long , long journey . With shards
of jagged rock and stone . She shall not be alone .
She will not falter and her plans they won't alter .
This time , she shalt find - her way home ....

  • Congratulate them for me. It is a hard thing to do. Addiction rules your life and helps you make all kind of excuses. This was well written. And I could feel it each and every part of it. Thank you for sharing.

    Good news and a good write! My sis has been dry now for three years, so I know a little of how you feel. The rhyme scheme created an interesting rhythm, almost like a heartbeat. Well done, my friend!
