Ruining myself
I knew all along i could die
Self destruction is what i sought
I didn't care
Never gave it a second thought
I found myself in a new place
Something different
I took a good look at my face
Saw the damage i had done
Found a new way to cope
I learned i am gods son
Now its all up to me
Live to live
Be the person he wants me to be
No more wasted time
I cant give in
This new life will be mine

I am glad that you no longer have to do drugs and you have found god. I was in a lock down rehab for a year when I was 14......it helped for a while . I've been out for about a two years and I am slowly relapsing very badly. I wish I could feel like you do as you expressed in this poem. Good Write.
