the darkness of lifeis starting to overwhelm
you don't know what to do.
you turn to alcohol
to drugs to run from life.
the darkness clouds over
and all you see is . . .
blackness.
darkness clouds your vision
unsure of what to do.
don't know where to put your foot
unsure of the uneven ground.
you find a hand reaching out
and you don't want to take it
but at the same time you do.
you grasp a hold of the hand.
the hand is giving you strength
to move on and live your life.
you turn away from alcohol and drugs
and realize what is underneath
is the truth of your troubles
there was abuse from long ago.
sexual, physical, emotional, and ritual abuse
were present in your childhood.
when you deal with the abuse
you will be free from the drugs.
you'll be able to give answers
to your troubles.
