The view

by

by: Sarah

Some see a road
I see a view
Opertunaties ahead
Reaching for tomorrow through clouds
For every mountain climbed
Lessons were learned
Leaving memory stones as messages to the one’s I won’t return

Enabled addiction

by

by: Sarah

Come follow me
Take my hand on a journey through bitter sand

Swallowed whole from my own hand
Sink or swim
I pull other’s in

A journey we take to find escape
Finding escape within our fate
As the story plays
Our journey fades

Peace in tears of pain

by

by: Sarah

Momma why aren’t you happy…

I made you breakfast cleaned my room.

Still you, yell your anger shows as I’m thrown from room to room.

I wait to cry, I hold it in
I’ve learned real well to harbor sound.

I love you so
I always will
Momma you try
Through high eyes

I pray for you
Not for me
I pray you become happy
Find peace to whatever makes such misery.

Hopefully love finds way
In tears of pain.

Humbled

by

by: Sarah

I want to know how many have really sat down and shook the hand of death…

How many have lived to tell the tale of life and be greatful…

You see all these people each day with different perspectives; so many think they have life all figured out.
Only to one day be knocked back down to size.
It was through each person in my life every drill every test that I failed I learned to be most successful and greatful.

Foolish game

by

by: Sarah

I fell in love with the devil himself…
After dancing with every demon there was;
he waltzed me off my feet into flames I couldn’t escape…
As hard as it was to grip what little reality or sanity was there, I couldn’t…
I craved the fire he brought with his madness.
He burned me forever.
For that reason I wanted to die.
As much as I would like to put blame on him I could have helped myself;
I can’t hold him fully responsible.
We are both to blame in love and hates foolish game.

Journeys

by

by: Sarah

So determined to life’s challenges
Testing boundaries, rules and patience as well as learning yes and no.

Teaching ABC’s and 123’s
Endless nights of sleep
As you crawl up next to me

My heart inside knowing all too well, this moment I must keep.
Precious still as you sleep

To keep you forever would be my way.
Growing up is nature’s way.
As I teach you, you teach me.
We are part of each other
In this journey.

Mamma

by

by: Sarah

Tiny fingers, little toes
Playing dress up in all her clothes

From feeling shoes
Laughter, hardships momma arm’s always soothe

Her every test not always best
Life faired her well
Only she failed too tell

What’s left behind
But, a little mind
Full of mommas signs

One last fight

by

by: Sarah

One last fight
Before I go
I’ve battled a world
Of mountains streets
And stones
Sickness and shame
I hold myself high day after day
Smiling throughout pain
As I bandage myself
For the observations of yesterday
Waiting tomorrow’s sorrows departure
As I teach of battles without a partner
Alone you can
Alone you will
Tired as I am
There is still a fight in me
A spirit no one can take away from me

The broken shall rise after the fall

by

by: Sarah

Had you picked a weed for me
My sadness would have lifted
If only time had meant more than seconds
Happiness may have been treasured

Instead you chose derailment
Playing my heart
Until each string had finally
Severed

Tattered and worn
I rise
Teaching the broken shall rise after the fall

True love

by

by: Sarah

Fifty years from now I want us to be able to look back on how far we’ve come

Cherishing moments wrapped in each other’s arms

At times one being the rock so family could
build

Holding hands forever a
Eternal bond, life long partner

A glimpse of tomorrow
A feeling of true love and companionship never doubted

Another year of sobriety

by

by: Sarah

Another year of sobriety
Twelve years clean

Falling off the wagon
Seemed bound to happen after losing what’s meant to be.
I took a fall
Crashing hard
Stitching my scars healing my wounds
Broken and bruised
I lifted myself
Stumbled and crawled
As strength improved

Twelve years clean
Remembering
The battles we face from day to day
Others face in different ways.
Sobriety does not mean you are forever free.
A addict will forever be.
Temptation is all around
Learning how to turn it down is key
Habit Trading comes in
Many forms
Few will learn, while others mourn.

Beraved

by

by: Sarah

Nobody gets anything forever
Everything passes
Truth behind
beraved

Some sorrows fade as time passes

A memory secluded
Smells
Hands
The way you grow
All triggering

Certain sorrows kept hidden away

Sorrows nothing can ever take away

Decaying minds

by

by: Sarah

Minds decay
As a world would rather
Play

Victims in privileged state

Wealthy continue to accumulate

Poverty never-ending
Hunger just beginning

People dying of disease
No insurance company
Covering

Yet still,
We fight each other tooth and nail
Pointing fingers
Casting stares

Change is happening
Every day

The minds of people
Have begun to decay
