untitled poem

5/7/2013

Bright starlit eyes
Staring into the distance
Wind blowing her hair
She's awaiting, dreaming of her existence

Take me away
To my own natural high
Leaving this reckless life-
and sincerely saying goodbye

Blowing out memories of evil
Breathing in thoughts of hope
Trying to fight off a disease
No longer craving dirty dope

A little girl screaming inside
Scared and lost from addiction
Praying to a higher power
Waiting for her next conviction

Developing a desire for adventure
All these thoughts in her mind racing
She surrenders-
and recovery she's now chasing
