Reality Check!

LIFE

I want this thing they call life

I’m not going to give up without a fight

Times are going to be hard

And I know it’s true

But there’s nothing I can’t do

I’ve got the power, I’ve got the will

Only I can fulfill

There’s so much darkness in my life

It’s getting hard to see

But I know what I’m destined to be

A life without chemicals

                    A life of sobriety

A life

CHAINS
 

The pain I feel inside

Makes me want to run and hide

The chains that are bound so tight

Makes me want to give up this fight called life

This anger deep within has only just begun

But the light is becoming so dim

But there is a life with hope

I can no longer do no dope

A drug that can overpower

That has made so many lives so sour

I will no longer be a victim

No longer part of the system

I will live to be free

I will be free to be me


DESPITE MYSELF

When I close my eyes Lord

Call my name

When I cover my ears

Whisper in my heart

Don’t give up on me

When I resist

I cut myself off

From your love’ in stubborn

Selfishness

Help me let go

Of the things I cling to

Afraid to believe

I should cleave to you

You take my hand

And touch my life

That I cannot deny

What I already know

I belong to you

and make you think that it’s not worth the life you’d throw away!
