the addictions i adopted and the years they ruled my life

can be brought back vividly, with the slightest effort of thought

though it has been some time, i spent more years under their control

then the years i have enjoyed clean

i have developed a habit, one that i intend to keep

and it has me craving for this marvelous, new found peace

i have heard it described as a ”peace beyond words or understanding ”

i can see how that description is true

takes me places within myself that i never known

gives to me a strength that goes beyond physical or mental fortitude

leaves me with a craving to get closer to a God that before this time

i see now i never knew
