on Nov 28, 2020Mike.n.Atlanta put this up a couple of times in response to others' blogs. I thought this would also be a good place for it. (He says it's written by Emilee Kerrigan, but I haven't been able to verify that and it seems unlikely as she is an 11 year old.)
Drugs control my life
So don't try to convince me that
I can be sober
Because at the end of the day
I can't do this
And I'm not going to lie to myself by saying
I will prosper & succeed
So I will remind myself
That I am a selfish terrible person
And nothing you tell me will make me believe
I deserve a good life
Because no matter what
I will always be addicted
And I wonder if
Things will get better
Because when I look in the mirror, I will always think
Can I recover?
Now read it from bottom to top.
Great
