Sitting in a shelter
Waiting for the next boat
To find my old life
To keep my life afloat.
Cold wind blowing across the lake
With only a jacket, scarf and hat
To keep me warm from the wintry chill
I remember my life from being a prat.
Yes! I am in remission from my habit
stoned every night with alcohol
Followed by cocaine and pot to smoke
I feel myself entering a six foot deep hole.
Many will reject, please don’t,
Am I going home? Will they want me?
I look in the mirror because, I want to break free.
I wish I said no.
I am sorry
I begin to shiver
Sorry everybody, sorry…sorry…s
