I've lived through hell and pulled myself out only to find that the world is not as well as as it seems.

Well its almost been 1 year and the rewards have been huge!

Truth

Truth is like a slap in the face
It hurts sometimes but it grabs your attention.
Sometimes I don't want to acknowledge the truth around me,
Like life is what it is and nothing more...

Sheep, Snakes, Turtles and Slugs

Between the cracks of society we crawl like slugs,
Dirty, slimey, forgoton and alone.
We are nothing but food for those who prey on the weak.

Hello, I have been sober for over 100 days now and it hasn't been easy. It has been alot of hard work and dedication. I have had to give up friends and make new ones. I have had to get in touch with my feelings and try to find out who I really am inside. I now have a goal in mind for a career.I want to work with street kids; as a former street kid myself I believe that people can benifit from a person who as actually been there rather than an "educated" counsellor.

Short Burst

Distant memories of stolen dreams
I am lost in silent screams
My world is bursting at the seams
Its all not as bad as it seems

I left home when I was young
Left to travel and instead I got spun
Into a world of drugs and guns
I became afraid of being hung

Scared into being straight
I was not going to take the bait
I will be real and not be fake
My hope is mine and it I will take

On a journey to stay clean
I will one day be serene
Because I have left the scene
And I will always remember where I've been.
