This poem was written in the mist of me battling a heroin addiction. This was written in June 2003 right as I was trying to get off of heroin. As of Aug. 2005, I have been CLEAN. Thank the LORD!

my Life

©  Erin
Thinking back on my life, when I was a little child;
So outrageous and bubbly doing things that were wild.
Thinking back on my life, all those wonderful years;
Not a care in the world, no worries, no fears.
Thinking back on my life, all the advice I was told:
What a wonderful child, my parents hoped they would mold.
But as we all know, it's not always what we dreamed;
Life gets harder, and to us it's not always how it seemed.
There are two roads in life: the right one and wrong one;
The wrong one I chose and it seemed life was done.
But as time has went on, I had to agree;
I can do and be anything I want to achieve.
I have tried over and over and failed to succeed;
But I am a SOLDIER, that's what I believe.
My LIFE is too precious to let it slip away;
I must try harder and harder each coming day.
One day soon, I'll be All that I am;
How do I know you ask?
BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN!!!!

Thank you! I myself am fighting lady heroin...your poem reminds me that even though I have slipped , I can make it ... I am turning 28 on Sept. 7th and I want to be around for many years to come...I have a beautiful 14 month old daughter, and she is my life , but because of heroin I now have a child endangerment charge I am facing...I got busted with 3 slips, 31 methadone, and 14 xanax...all while I had my baby in the car with me...thank god D.S.S. is not involved...but regardless, I f***ed up! I just hope and pray I can stay clean...have been for 22 days now...no withdrawals because I had weaned myself down before the bust , I wanted to be clean before I got caught, but the bust reiterated the need. Anyways thank you for your words of inspiration!
