Recovering Addict

I come from a dark place
But please, do not throw that in my face
I have made my share of mistakes,
And some are unforgivable, some are a disgrace
But that is not who i am anymore
For i have grown, i have changed
I don’t aim for highs, i aim for lows
I aim for happiness, and love
Not things that can harm me, kill me, or hurt me
I have seen the light, i have been set free
For i am an addict, but i am recovering
For my past is not my future
And my future is not my past
These feelings i have, are sure to last
Because i am me, i am myself
I am free, i am alive, i am no longer dead
The demons, they have left, they have left my head
The voices will always be there,
But that’s fine, i don’t care
I’ve proven people can change, people can grow
I come from a dark place
And that’s all anyone needs to know.
