First Step Poem

I am starting my mornings
In a whole different way
Admitting my illness
To begin my day
I cannot go on
Saying no to my problem
Addiction to drugs
Is the thing I?ll be solving
My whole life has been
Repetition of pain
That hurtful emotion
Again and again
OK, I-m an addict
What more can I say
A wise bit of knowledge
For a brand new day
Preparing my first step
And writing it well
Make sure I remember
Drugs took me to he!!
This first step is Crucial
For me to go on
Can-t jump to the second
Until it?s well done
So this is the work
I am doing today
Surrender my own self
Surrender me well
To the fact that drugs
Only took me to he!!
Develop these thoughts
Until I make sure
The pain was as much
As I could endure
I want to keep going
Today to my meetings
To greet the newcomer
With love and warm greetings
I cannot keep anything
Of all that I?ve got
If I do not share it
I could go get lost
So when I remember
The time I?ve been clean
It-s twenty-four hours
That-s just what I mean!
