In wandering around the addiction recovery community on the web, I met Gregory Smitheman. He expresses his sobriety through poetry. Check out his addiction recovery poetry website at Elite Poetry.
Lost Souls
We must first bridge the gap of isolation
By doing so we form our future & fix decimation
Unavailing times call for desperate measures
To walk the path, uncover godly treasures
Consolidate short comings and view steps perceived
Regain morals, and trust in god believed
Admit we are powerless over our addictions
We set common goals and confront our convictions
When life’s not good & we need some sanity
We overcome thoughts to lessen the vanity
Though we find ourselves eager to be rebuilt
We must release the pain, suffering, and guilt
We seek amends in these little rooms
Gain back a lost soul this drug consumes
We continue to take a personal inventory
Relating to others, by sharing our story
Let God take over, be your higher power
For without him we struggle and eventually sour
We must believe in ourselves and that’s no lie
If we keep down this road, we’re surly to die
Just remember on thing before you go
When it comes to drugs “Just say NO”
