poem- The Dance
I just wanted to share a poem I wrote. When I speak of the demon I'm speaking of the drugs that controlled my life for so long. I'm sure alot of you can relate.
The Dance
I threw my life up to chance
as the demon and I began to dance.
He held me close, he held me tight
he completly blocked all the world's light.
He whispered the things I wanted to hear
he made me feel loved, yet kindled my fear.
I wanted one dance but he filled my card
he made it look easy when lfe was too hard
He lied, he cheated, he ripped out my heart
and he made me believe we could never part.
He acted kind but was jealous and cold
he consumed my mind and made my soul old.
He told me I was beautiful, wonderful, and true
he took all of me and he can take you.
To dance with the demon is to forever roam
to never find peace or find your way home.
Now I can see where I went wrong
I was the one who started the song.

LeighC that was beautiful... really truly beautiful and so so true.

Thanks so much everyone!
Suga,
Of course you are welcome to share the poem, but give God the credit for he's the one who opened my eyes and made me see that drugs are the devil in disguiss . Thanks to him I'm working on day 15 clean and sober.

Hey Leigh,
I just wanted you to know that I shared your poem with some of my friends at AA today and they all LOVED it. I even had one really cool lady ask for a copy of it so I'm emailing it to her after I post this and I'll send her the link to here as well. Thank you for sharing The Dance with us. I loved it.
