FREEDOM - by Reese

Through the painI see sunlight after the rainMy drugs keep me in chains And I cried with shameMy sober living is a challenge all the same But it’s good for me to change I was a angry,sick evil human beingI’m clean and sober for 6 months plus But my pain is here Like a thorn in my brainSo it’s freedom I strive forFrom my sick brain ,So they ask why? I’m sober todayWhy gods in my life Its a simple answer to seeThat without him I wouldn’t be alive or even ok with meSo I take it slow and one day at a timeMy scars heal only through timeSo I’m clean and sober and happy with just thatAnd my light is lit so it’sMy turn to plan my life’s trip
