But, I don't care what they have to say
Their mocks of "God" and "Just For Today"

I'm forced to be here
Because of things I fail to fear
they tell me I have this "problem"
and these meeting will help me..."solve em"

But..
They are the ones that need therapy
for telling me where it is I need to be

These are the thoughts that run through my head
I didn't listen to what anyone said
for that simple fact I was just about dead

Now I sit here begging for redeemption
because of my arrogance and truths I failed to mention

But
Today you see the truth has set me free
No longer scared to finally be me
What was lost, I now can find
Finally, have a peace of mind

So,
Today is Mandatory Meeting Day
I want to hear what everyone has to say
So please, I beg you raise YOUR hand today. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 161 [topic] => 66 [informant] => lovesucks [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => drugabuse )

No point in me raising my hand, I gave up drugs along time ago and have never looked back, prefer to feel, rather than be numb.
Cool poem, with an awesome message, thanks for sharing.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
