I'm going to an AA convention this weekend in Laughlin, NV even though I am in Narcotic Anonymous. It should be a great weekend I am excited to grow in peace, love and joy. I am happy where I am in my recovery and all that I have been through. I believe God has a plan for me and I am meant to be here on this earth.

Death of a First Love


As if it were yesterday
When the memories were clear.
Since then you let your life go
and gave into all your fears.

Death will come to all of us
but you threw your life away.
You killed yourself so suddenly
I didn’t know what to say.

You hurt me and broke my heart
You stole your love from me.
Tears is all I have to cry
You left me empty.

How do I forgive you?
How do I let go?
My life’s forever changed now
It’s more awful than you know.

I know that you were suffering
Now I’m suffering too.
Your pain has become my pain
and I don’t know what to do.

I’m angry that you left me
I feel abandoned too.
My heart still holds our memories
and the love I have for you.

When it’s time we’ll meet again
In heaven there up above.
Although in life I’ve lost you
You’re always be my first love.

I'm having trouble with acceptance in my life. Accepting things I cannot change looking for a different outcome. I'm in the process of grieving again or just not accepting certain things that happened in my life as such.

Here's a poem I wrote. Not one of my best, but...

All Accepting


Acceptance of the way things are
Not how I wish they’d be.
All accepting of myself
Is a way to set me free.

Things are meant to be as such
Being this is God’s own plan.
Things happen for a reason
and not on my demand.

So guide me through this journey
Of God’s will and his control.
Accepting things I cannot change
To better my own soul.

I thought this was kinda cute and funny. I'm doing ok these days. After what happened last week with my day and my ex-sponsor, I haven't felt like myself. I have felt tired and just not wanting to talk. I get my 9 month chip next week and I'm excited. I'm also going to Laughlin, NV for an AA convention for 4 days. That should be enlightening and spiritually uplifting. So I am looking forward to that.

Can't find the poem write now it got mixed up with another. will come

Hairy Llama


Look at me and my poofy hair
I think that I look great.
It seems to shape my oval face
and God don’t make mistakes.

I can part it down the middle
or part it on the side.
My eyes are my focal point
Because they are so wide.

I never get to brush my teeth,
but they look good anyway.
I only have the bottom half
The top ones rotted away.

My fur is soft and manageable
My nose just fits my face.
If I did it all again,
There’s nothing I’d replace.

So look at me I’m beautiful
I stand out in a crowd.
Don’t be jealous it’s okay,
I’m humble and I’m proud.

These poems show how spiritually I have grown as a result of my recovery and my growing relationship with God. I am proud to have God in my life.

The Voice


The voice that calms the deep blue sea
The voice that lives in me.
It’s His love that’s comforting
With the joy in which He brings.

The voice that calms the savage winds
The chaos that roams inside.
Is silenced when I ask for help
For he’s my only guide.

The voice that breathes inside of me
It is He I do believe.
My heart and soul are filled with Him
I know he’ll never leave.

God’s Plan


When you’re tired and frustrated
‘Cause things don’t go your way.
Remember there’s a bigger plan
That will come along one day.

Don’t be in such a hurry
To run on your self-will.
Remember what your needs are
Not just wants you want fulfilled.

God’s plan for you is set
That’s the way it’s going to be.
Look to him for guidance
So you will be set free.

Be happy in those things you have
It could be a whole lot worse.
Just know that you are loved
and always put God first.

After a long road.

Cleansing the Demons


I’m feeling a little cleaner
Than I did the day before.
A weight has been lifted
One I can’t ignore.

My spirit has been lifted
My soul has been cleansed.
The past has been healed
There’s victory in the end.

A little girl was injured
Scarred and really scared.
My life has changed forever
I have finally been repaired.

The abuse that I have carried
Has been lifted from my heart.
I have forgiven my father
We have a brand new start.

Life can really start now
For once I’m really free.
I’ve confronted my demons
and I’m happy to be me.

Moving On


It hurts there in my heart and head
and throughout my body too.
You betrayed my inner secrets
and exposed them just for you.

You took from me the trust
I thought we had as friends.
You gave them up to someone else
and hurt me in the end.

Somehow I’ve forgiven you
and have chosen to move on.
I never will forget though
Because what you did was wrong.

I emailed my ex-sponsor and told her I forgive her. I just want to move on and get out of the yuk

We Are Human


It is said in life;
The combination of the traits,
Of a man and woman together,
Make us all human.

Golden Years



If everything you touched
Turned to gold,
Look at the sunset
Peering through the trees,
Warming my heart
and melting my soul
So that I can love you.

Ever heard of this saying. When there's a problem and two people know it and won't acknowledge it. That's the situation I am in right now with my father and I don't know how to resolve it besides confronting and I really don't want to do that.

The Elephant is In the Room


The elephant’s in the room
Its color may be pink or grey.
It doesn’t really matter though
Because nobody wants to say.

The problem gets avoided
and is never talked about.
It gets swept under the rug
With or without a doubt.

The elephant in the room today
It’s about sexual abuse.
A father molested his daughter
and therefore, has been accused.

They can’t sit down and talk
He pretends everything’s fine,
but both of them really know
This is all that’s on their minds.

The elephant will be there
As a reminder in their room.
Of their failing relationship
as the phoniness resumes.

Until they can discuss things
and finally clear the air.
The elephant will live there
In both their daily affairs.

Betrayal of a Sponsor


Betrayal of trust,
With fallen walls.
Secrets exposed,
The rise and fall.

Stabbed in the back,
By my Sponsor you see.
She couldn’t careless,
About my feelings or me.

It was done for herself
Her own issues and needs.
She can’t be my Sponsor.
We cannot proceed.

A friend she sure wasn’t.
My dreams have been crushed.
She knew all my issues,
I had with trust.

A lesson learned,
but won’t set me back.
I now know myself.
I know where I’m at.

A loss all its own.
A change in my life.
The betrayal of anyone,
Just isn’t right.

I’ll keep moving forward
and do better next time.
For I’m a strong person,
Who will finish this climb.
