The poems I share here were all written either years before I entered recovery or during my own recovery. They reflect what my INNER VOICES knew to be true. Listen to your own INNER VOICES for they always know the truth of what is happening in your life.

My Grieving Youth

I write my words for me alone,

So not to face the truth,

For there amidst my anguished sounds,

Lives my grieving youth,

I do not want to live it twice,

Once was bad enough,

And so I write to hide the pain,

And play my game of bluff.
