Just to make things clear, this new poem is not about me. I just wrote it as I saw it in my head.
2/27/2008
Tonight
Just one won’t hurt they say and that’s what I told myself
Now I’m trapped with fear in my mind addiction in my body
Tried one thing after another just getting addicted to more
With blood shot eyes I look at myself in the mirror
Look more like a demon with hands that shake
Will I ever find myself again
Everyone looks at me like I’m crazy just because I snap at everyone
Just want to find a hole to hide in but fear of the dark keeps me away
Jump at every moving shadow even though its bright as day
You may think the worst addiction is drugs but your wrong
The addiction of depending on myself is so much worse
Thinking I could do anything without cost if I only knew
But then in my crazy dark mind I saw a light in the darkness
At first fear griped me so much nearly choked but then I called
God if your there help me find what I have lost
Just then a cross appeared started to feel the breaking
Yes I cried mend me break me make me new once again
Drenched in sweat I could feel addictions leave one by one
Tonight I stand facing the fears in my mind knowing
An angel of wonder watches over me sent by the Lord
No longer will I depend on myself but the one on the cross
Tonight I stand with love in my eyes through love of the cross
Glory of God has set me free of the darkness that consumed
Now the fire of the Holy Spirit burns sweet love of the Lord
