God Make Me A Bird So I Can Fly Far Away
The Depth I’m Still Flying From Means You Can Join Me Anytime Now! — (KTHT Poetry Prompt)
“Life is a cycle, and like the phoenix, we rise from our own ashes.”
I danced with the realm of my shadows, where demons — RESIDE,
numerous choices, where darkness — PRESIDES.
A dance with addictions, OH — a treacherous — GAME,
Where destructive decisions ignite$ like a — FLAME!
In the depths of despair, where hopes seemed— LOST,
addictions grip tightly, at an unimaginable — COST.
With each fleeting moment, a craving takes — HOLD,
Leading down a path, where the heart turns into — COLD!
That’s all it takes is one simple — DRINK,
to turn you into what you didn’t — THINK!
I knew what I was doing was creating more of a— MESS.
How else was I supposed to cure all my — STRESS?
Those whispering temptations, such a soothing — VOICE,
Promising solace, but only to deceive and steal— CHOICE.
Like a siren’s call, it lures you — ASTRAY,
Into a labyrinth of chaos, where reason will — $WAY.
Your substance of choice & the feeling it — BRINGS,
soon it enslaves, like invisible — STRINGS.
A web of illusions, entangling the — MIND.
Leaving shattered dreams and memories — BEHIND.
Oh, the allure of escape, a temporary — RELIEF,
Yet the price we pay is beyond — BELIEF.
Destructive decisions led by someone other than — ME,
That’s why ALL addictions sting like a — BEE!
But fear not, for redemption — AWATES,
In the strength to resist, to break free from these — FATES.
Seek support and guidance, from those who you — UNDERSTAND,
Together we can conquer, NOW please take my — HAND.
Let us rise above the darkness, with courage and —MIGHT.
Reclaim your lives and emerge into the — LIGHT!
For in the face of addictions, we find the — POWER.
To rewrite our story, and bloom like a — FLOWER!
From the ashes of despair, a Phoenix shall — ARISE,
With wings unfurled, reaching for the — SKIE’s.
Once shackled by addictions, now set on — FREE,
sobriety became a full beacon of pure — POSSIBILITY!
Oh, the allure of the bottle, that TEMPORARY — ESCAPE,
But, within its grasp, our true selves can — RESHAPE!
Yet within the depths of darkness, a fire still burns down — DEEP,
A longing for clarity, that promise I mean to — KEEP!
With each step towards sobriety, good transformation takes — FLIGHT,
a soul reborn, emerging from the darkest — NIGHT.
Like a Phoenix soaring, with wings spread — WIDE,
My journey of recovery has become such a joyous — RIDE!
No more chasing demons, no more numbing the — PAIN,
in sobriety's embrace, a newfound strength we’ll — GAIN.
A life reclaimed, filled with purpose and — GRACE.
A testament to the power of finding one's correct higher — PLACE!
Anyone can rise from the depths they're now — IN.
Just choose to let go of the addictions — WITHIN.
With support and determination, now let’s find your — WAY,
Transforming their lives, in one sober — DAY!
So let your wings unfurl, oh Phoenix of the — SOUL,
Embrace the freedom that sobriety — EXTOLS.
Rise above the shadows, into the realm of — LIGHT,
A testament to the strength that comes from the — FIGHT!
For in the rise from my addiction, a poem — UNFOLD’S,
of resilience, courage, and a spirit that — MOLDS.
No longer defined by the chains that once — BOUND,
but by the triumph and strength that you had now — FOUND!
So let the Phoenix be born within you now take —FLIGHT,
Embrace sobriety, with all your — MIGHT!
For in your rise from the depths of addictions — I now — DARE YOU!
You can also inspire others to believe they can be — REPAIRED TOO!
I know if I can keep flying up — DAILY,
Addictions can’t take me back now even if — THEY PAID ME!
Don’t be ever afraid to ask people your — QUESTION.
Make my past lifestyle choices with substances your private — LESSON!
I only hang around people who create more of a safe — DISTANCE.
From my old addictions that made me not — LISTEN.
If you hang around people who are flying around that bright blue — SKY,
You will understand the purpose of your life, now please don't — DIE!
Remember that you can do anything if you set your mind to — OPEN-MINDEDNESS,
Also REMEMBER the best medication is pure — KINDNESS!
If you live in fear ask yourself — WHY?
because the truth of the matter is there is none in the — SKY!
