I'm a 43 year old recovering addict, and I've been writing poetry for as long as I've been able to write. I grew up away from my family experiencing many traumatic events which I use as my inspiration to write and paint. My pain will not slow me down it will only catapult me forward. I will not remain a victim of past circumstances there's too much beauty in the world. Love reigns true.

Cause I'll be here still

If you say I won't make it
I'll prove you are wrong
And that I shouldn't be here
I'll prove I belong

My recovery means more
Than you think that...

Train

Why can't I deny
Temptations advance
Why can't I say no
When given the chance

How do I not see
The freight train ahead
It's coming right at me
And soon I'll be dead

One hand is tied
To the cold iron track
The other is tied
Behind my...

The lost race

Faster than a racecar
I live my life with speed
Gaining everything I thought
That I would ever need
One more rig inside my veins
Looking for the flag
I begin to taste the thrill first place
Never thinking of rehab
The final lap has come and...
