Discovering Myself
I did not want to know, the person I might not be,
So instead I drank my drink and pretended I was free.
As years went on and I became the one who could not stop,
And all the things I thought I was, I realized I was not.
And so I said goodbye to the thing that eased my pain,
And now I fully realize that I truly was insane.
So here I am among you now, in all my hopes and fears,
Knowing that I am Divine – and had been all these years.
t’s hard sometimes, you know, to admit you cannot drink,
It really isn’t fair, ‘cuz I loved the taste…I think.
But as you read this think of me and take great joy in knowing,
That recovery is a sacred gift – the seeds of which I’m sowing.
