Serenity...

Jun 14 '02

The Bottom Line Please Note: I am not a writer or poet. I enjoyed writing this and wanted to share it. I hope at least one person likes it! Just kidding.

I am baby, I am innocent.
I don’t know the meaning of life…
It’s unimportant.
I am comfortable and happy with everything and everyone around me.
I have been born with the gift of serenity.

I am a child, I am curious.
I start to learn about life.
It intrigues me…I want to learn more.
I am interested and happy with everything and everyone around me.
I have been given the gift of knowledge.

I am a teenager, I am challenged.
I start to question the meaning of life.
It’s confusing, frustrating, and emotional.
I am scared and upset with everything and everyone around me.
I have been given alcohol.
I try it…
I am comfortable and happy with everything and everyone around me.

I am still a teenager, I am sad.
I start to hate life.
It’s only the beginning.
I am depressed, lonely, and hate everything and everyone around me.
I have been given a line.
I try it, I love it…
I am comfortable with myself and happy with everything and everyone around me.

I am an adult, I am determined.
I start to try and control life.
It’s a mistake.
I am okay, for a while.
I am getting by with everything and everyone around me.
I have the disease of addiction.
But, I’m okay because I don’t know it yet…and I am in control of life.

I am still an adult, I am lost.
I am fighting with life.
It’s easier if I don’t, but I don’t know it.
I am depressed, lonely, and hate everything and everyone around me.
I have the disease of addiction.
But, I’m okay because it’s just a habit…and I am in control of life.

I am not a person. I am gone.
I don’t know the meaning of life…
It’s unimportant, I don’t care.
I am desperate, alone and in pain.
I am insane. I hear the voices and fear the psychosis…and I want out.
I have the disease of addiction.
But, I have faith that I will be okay because I am willing.
God is in control of my life.

I am a recovering addict. I am purified.
I still have the disease of addiction, but I am at ease.
I don’t know the meaning of life…
It’s unimportant. I cherish each day as it comes.
I am comfortable, happy and grateful for everything and everyone around me.
I have been given the gift of recovery.
I have SERENITY.
