I open my eyes and am terrified by what I see.
I am trapped and don’t know where I am supposed to be.
This is a nightmare, this is happening.
It chokes me, my heart is blackening.

I have been captured, kidnapped.
Head held underwater, collapsed.
It smiles at me, it knows it has won.
Gasped my last breath, its work here is done.

It had me for years and I did not fight.
I let it take me over, convinced myself it’s right.

It let go today, I watched the water drain.
Fresh air envelops me, I release the pain.
My fire sparks, I am reunited with reality.
I poured the rest of the rum in the black sea.

I open my eyes and am blessed with what I see.
I am free, where I should be.
This is a clear blue sky, this is what I’ve been missing.
It is a new day. This is living.

I open my eyes and am terrified

Poetry, Spiritual Recovery, Treatment Programs

In a room where whispers cling to the walls,
A figure collapses as the darkness calls.
Windows to the soul, reflecting the pain,
A heart once wild, now shackled and drained
Each pill a tempting lure, calling my name like its a cure,
Conceal the truth in a game of shame.
I swallowed the hope. As I chased the light,
But shadows linger, Hiding in fright.
Ghosts of laughter echo through time,
Faded memories wrapped in smudges.
The world outside is now a distant blur,
As I chase the high, I begin to stir
But deep in chaos, a whisper remains,
A moment of clarity amongst these chains.
For even in Hell, there’s strength to reclaim,
To rise from the ashes and break free from the game.

In a room where whispers cling to

Poetry

What are you burning
I think it’s your soul
You’re breathing in smoke
That won’t fill the hole

And when you breathe out
Your chemical pain
Your heart is still bleeding
Just numb just the same

Emptiness comes
You know it so well
The hour of nothingness
Then breaking the spell

Dead ends and grey roads
You’ve been here before
Run whil you still can
Then run on some more

Escape this distraction
It doesn’t exist
You’ll get back the love
The love that you missed

And one day you’ll look back
Look back and see
You rose up from nothing
And you will be free.
