"It's Time"

"I know the journey in recovery,
may seem daunting,
but would you rather,
be haunting,
your family,
as a living ghost?
Because truly,
they miss the real you,
the most.

It's time to stop living,
in the land of pretend,
and thinking those drugs,
were ever your friends.
They sapped you,
of your will to live,
and take and take,
until you have nothing,
left to give.

I tell you right now,
drugs were never the answer,
they are just,
the Devil's illusion cancer,
on society,
to make us bend and fold.
Now it's time to be brave!
It's time to be bold!
Imagine someday,
when your story is told,
do you want it to say,
that you were beaten,
that they won,
and made you lifeless and cold,
or that you broke free,
of that dead end path,
and slipped out of the Devil's Hold?

Bacause all it takes,
is to start today,
and don't listen,
to what your old,
using friend will say,
because honestly,
they wish they,
had the strength,
to reach out for help.
Please do this for you,
do it for yourself,
and be proud,
God placed you,
right where you are,
and keep on shining,
because you are a star!"
