"Reality is Truth's Brother"

"Reality,
was never a friend to me,
in active addiction.
It was my worst enemy,
the affliction.
It was something,
I didn't want,
anyone to mention.

By doing that,
the truth started,
to fade.
Everything had this greyish haze,
and I got lost in it's maze,
for 15 years,
I had disorded, unorderly days,
but now in recovery,
I see reality as a gift,
and through my confusion,
the truth I sift.

My days are spent pleasent,
as The Twelve Steps,
and true religion,
come into play,
with every action and decision,
I make,
as of now,
for my knees,
to God,
I bow."
