Because You're Worth It

why recover?

Because You’re Worth It

 

Remember when your family cried

Endless efforts they did try

Moments looked in their eye

Out of mouth came only a lie

Sitting in a dream-like high

Watch sunrise and wondered why

 

As the years outside the high flew

Thought you were lucky, thought you knew

Always ended emotionally blue

Devastation, calamity, nothing new

Finally the damages did accrue

Effects on everyone you hadn’t a clue

 

Stealing, violence, prostitution, and guns

Negativity and evil had to be done

You succeeded alone and naturally won

Disrespect and hate from everyone

Now in the dark you are only one

No more money, no more fun

 

I was like this for 26 years

On the edge I was near

Broke and beaten with many fears

Battled and bruised with oceans of tears

Using God’s help I am here

Understand this perfectly clear

 

You CAN give up all your sins

Don’t tell stories very thin

Wear your Higher Power like a pin

Make amends to all your kin

Soon the dark lightens to dim

Crawl out of the hole…finally WIN

 

QUESTION: WHY SHOULD YOU TRY?

 

ANSWER: BECAUSE YOU’RE WORTH IT!

How's life been bedeviling you of late? You holding up to the pressures? Hi LadyAnn

[LadyAnn68]

Absolutely NOT! I am wearing down faster by the minute...! But my writing is keeping me going! It is my birthday in 9 days and I am trying to escape it! My body hurts everyday now...from my hair to my toenails...the only thing that keeps my emotions alive is my total unconditional love for my kitties...Stevie and Kylie...with them in bed with me everynight I still thank God I am alive! Howare you old and dear friend?

Amen to that.... first off I like that each stanza had all six lines with the same rhyme... mostly I love the positive message you expressed here. We all all worth living... just ask our family and God.
