Breaking Ties

A poem about letting go...

Breaking the ties that bind me

Coming out from the shadow that hides me

Going to put a smile on my face to right me

Nothing you do will smite me

Like a user on the wagon

I ride the road to recovery

Life dangles its temptations

But I won’t turn back, never turn back

Turning back turns my back on G-d

I reminisce about the way it used to be

Look at pictures of my old life

Pictures of the past show me how far I’ve come

Pictures of the past are in the past

No longer me, no longer my life

The course of my path is anew

Now, I am breaking the ties that bind me

Coming out from the shadow that hides me

I put a smile on my face to right me

Nothing you do will smite me
