PAST PAIN: Now I’m Singin’ in the Rain

My dad always told me to be good and keep a job
instead I became a junkie slob.
My kids should have been more important than my habit,
but the needle was all I wanted—I just had to have it.
I couldn’t keep on going like I was
I’d be so numb my brain filled with fuzz.
Words could not express my loneliness and confusion
My fear has dissipated now that I have grasped a solution.
I cannot change those things I’ve done,
but from my past I can run.
I will run away from drugs
and instead I will embrace my family with hugs.
I am blessed to have my children back in my life
and excited to soon become a wife.
I want to be close to my family so bad
now I realize that they are all I ever really needed to have.
I have all I need from earth and above,
plus I am being showered with love.
