Sitting in a shelter,
Waiting for the next boat,
To find my old life,
To keep my hopes afloat.
Cold wind blowing across the lake
With only a hat, jacket and scarf,
To keep me warm from the wintry chill,
Now, I remember taking the wrong path.
Yes! I am in remission from my habit,
Being stoned every night with alcohol,
Followed by cocaine and pot to smoke,
falling into a six foot deep hole.
Many will reject me, 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
****
