Analysis of My own hell
At first I didn't believe it could ever be this way, but as time went on I believed it more each day, all the hurt and pain, almost did me in, then I found a solution I found a Percocet ten, oh how great I felt, the pain was no longer there, only an addiction but of course I wasn't aware, they promised I wouldn't get hooked and boy they were so wrong they promised after a month or so I'd be better I'd be strong, but what they failed to tell me is that my mind wouldn't let me stop, my body wasn't ready, to give it up, not right off, I kept taking my wonder drug only more and more each day, and as prices would go up, I'd steal to be able to pay, I knew I was in trouble something had to be done, I was out of control and this was no longer fun, so for years I kept on going, as if noone could tell, I would steal cheat and lie, my life was a living hell, I finally made a phone call that forever changed my life, if only I wasn't addicted god it would be so nice , to be back to normal, to be myself again I knew I would do anything to make this all end, In the year 2012 as my life kept falling apart I walked into their door's, I wanted another start, I didn't think I was worthy of kindness or any love that I was shown from everyone, they had to Been sent from above, soon I was getting better and I didn't think I could do, each day as time went on, it was to good to be true, I've been sober for years now, and I am here to tell,if you have the courage and want, you can survive you're own hell.
