Array ( [sid] => 56782 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Lost [time] => 2004-07-19 13:51:02 [hometext] => This poem was written when I first came out of rehab and entered the [bodytext] => Lost

I’ve felt lost and alone,
For such a long time.
The streets were my home,
And drugs were my life.

The times had changed,
And the days just flew by.
Little did I know,
I was living to die.

My life was unmanageable,
I was powerless over drugs.
So I came to AA,
And found nothing but hugs.

I finally felt normal,
I had a reason to live.
I found a higher power,
And he had something to give.

I learned to have faith,
In the fellowship that I followed.
Finally for a change,
I stopped feeling so hollow.

So I have to say Thank You,
For showing me the light.
I now have the tools,
To finally win this fight.
