Where Do I Go From Here

 

Where do I go from here

In a sensitive place of emotion

Making it to a recovered state

With brain still full of commotion

 

Constantly held in check

Past reflection illuminates the ghosts

Memories of playgrounds and playmates

All loved ones hurting the most

 

Where do I go from here

The melody inside is a new song

Once learned and memorized

I will sing to keep recovery strong

 

Never lived a constant routine

Securing the high was on a daily basis

Suffering the dry desert of drugs

Reaching for the recovery oasis

 

Where do I go from here

I think the only way is up

Drinking coffee instead of booze

Every morning in my “specialty” cup

 

Try doing an activity you never thought you ‘d like

One you thought you could never do

Now recovered and thinking straight

You’d be surprised what you can do anew

 

Where do I go from here

Try taking up pen and paper

Writing all you troubles in black and white

Something you’ll always have to review later

 

Try looking down a few long open roads

How to move forward to reach any ends

One of the best pathways known

Reach out and touch someone…make amends

 

Where do I go from here

I want so much to stay in a clean happy place

So I will strive my very hardest

To keep my recovery and stay in this year’s race

 

 

QUESTION: WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE

ANSWER: RIGHT WHERE I AM IS WHERE I WANT TO BE…IN RECOVERY!
