Recovering


A Poem by Nicole Renee

Scars cover my skin,
Leaving the horrible memories
Way behind in the back of my mind.
I can still feel the caress of the needle
Touching my me; touching my veins,
Energy flowing through as though
It was a new life, everything around
Turning colors, while the unusual
Sprung into life. I loved that feeling.
It made me feel as though I could
Escape reality and forget the life that
I lead before. But I also lost most
Of my friends and their trust,
Also losing the man that I loved
And even my family to lean on.
So I broke the cycle and
Set the needle down as well.
 
So when I look at you,
My scars will say it all:
 
I’m a recovering drug addict.

Author's Note
I was inspired by a guy that I had just started talking to. He told me was a recovering drug addict, and the first line started to come to mind..so I have to give him credit for the poem. It\'s got to be hard to recover from a simple, yet powerful thing like drugs.

No, I\'m not a real recovering drug addict. I just wanted to point that out. xD
