    "ADDICTION"
    AS I WALK AWAY,,PLEASE SHED ME NO TEARS,
    FOR, THIS IS THE "MIRACLE", WE'VE PRAYED "MANY" YEARS.
    I'VE "FINALLY" DISCOVERED THE "STRENGHTH" THAT I NEED,
    I KNOW IN MY HEART NOW, I'LL "FEEL" AND "SUCCEED".

    I KNOW FIGHTING THIS "CRAVING", WITH ALL OF MY FORCE,
    I'LL NEED "PRAYERS" FROM MY LOVED ONES,,,AND NOT OF THEIR 
     "SOURCE"!

    "PAST YEARS", I HAVE "WASTED", I CAN'T BRING THEM BACK,
    BUT, THE REST OF MY "FUTURE",,,I'LL KEEP IT ON TRACK!
    WITH "THE LORD" BY MY SIDE,,I'LL GROW "STRONGER" EACH DAY,
    AND "SUPPORT" FROM MY FAMILY, I'LL PULL THROUGH THIS SOMEWAY.

    NOW, FACING "THE DEVIL", WHOM'S TAKING "CONTROL",
    MY BODY'S SO "WEAK",,,,,,,HE'S "STRIPPING" MY SOUL!
    I'M TIRED OF "WEAKNESS", CAN'T TAKE THIS NO MORE!
    MY HEART PUMPS "ABNORMAL", NOT AS "STRONG" AS BEFORE.

    "FATHER" PLEASE CLEANSE ME OF "EVIL" WITHIN,
    I WANT TO START OVER,,,,AS A "NEWBORN" AGAIN!
    I PRAY FOR "AMNESIA", FOR YEARS IN MY PAST,
    FOR I'M NOT VERY PROUD THAT MY "STRENGHTH" DIDN'T LAST.

    "PLEASE, FATHER FORGIVE ME",,,YOU'VE HEARD THIS BEFORE,,,,
    THE "POWER" I'M "FEELING", YOU'LL NOT HEAR NO MORE!!!
    MY "PRAYERS" WILL BE REGULAR, WITH "THANKS", NO "REGRETS"
    IN MY "HEART" AND MY "SOUL", "FAITH'S" AS STRONG AS IT GETS!

    I "KNOW" I CAN "BEAT" THIS,FIGHTING "HELL'S" BEEN SO LONG!
    A "TRUE FRIEND" ONCE TOLD ME "FIGHT WEAKNESS! BE STRONG!"
    MY GOD! I HAVE "DRIFTED" SO FAR,I FEEL LOST!
    PLEASE SHOW ME THE WAY TO HEAL HEARTS THAT I'VE "COST"!!!

    NOW, "THIS FRIEND", ALSO TOLD ME, "GROW UP. DON'T GROW OLD,
    WITH THIS "DISEASE", I'LL DO "NEITHER", FROM WHAT I AM TOLD.

    "OH LORD, HOLD MY HAND", AS I WALK OUT THAT DOOR,
    SHOW ME "FACING REALITY'S" NOT SUCH A "CHORE".
    THAT FIRST BREATH OF "AIR", JUST MIGHT KNOCK ME DOWN!
    I PROMISE YOU ONE THING,I'LL "SMILE" AND NOT "FROWN".


    I'LL SHOUT AT MY "LOVED ONES",,"HEY LOOK GUYS IT'S ME!!!
    "THANKS" TO "FAITH" AND YOUR "PRAYERS"......I'LL "BEAT" THIS YOU'LL SEE!!!

    Drowning people take down their supposed saviors because you will grab at the first life vest when the water threatens to engulf you. We all have our "addictions", some more obvious than others, because most of us live within inches of dying from the time we achieve conciousness and realize we are less than perfect, and that is unacceptable. Once we realize that most people walk around so wrapped up in themselves they don't realize or care that they destroy everything they touch, it becomes much easier to forgive ourselves and go forward in peace with who we are. This poetry heals better than aspirin.

    the enthusiasm and strength you show is inspiring. Like the line in 'Benjamin Button' you're never too old or too young to start over! good luck!

    THX FOR THE KIND WORDS MY FRIEND, SO PROUD THAT YU ENJOYED IT!,CAROL

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
