[hometext] => writing this //'//poem//'// was originally just a facebook post that i couldn//'//t help the rhyming. poetry demands its birth, sometimes. it//'//s a departure from my usual imagery.
[bodytext] => a day in the life --------------------- definitely need to take it easy today, not try to handle my life in the usual way. i slept like hell, seems i slept better in jail. woke up and almost started the day with a roar, but then mom called and that helped me breathe a little more. after that i got right back on the phone, called up my sponsor cuz i//'//m not in this alone. he told me what i needed to hear, told me to use my active-listening ear, for while i am open and honest with it... i should really sit back and just listen a bit. so instead of going out and being stupidly high, today i//'//m going to be a much smarter guy. i//'//m getting a burger, then the noon meeting beckons. after that some job applications, i reckon. then back to the homestead after strolling around, focusing on why i truly do love this town. it//'//s because of the recovery and the people who care. it//'//s because of the shine that the rain gives the air. today is about the simple but amazing truth: fighting doesn//'//t have to be by claw or by tooth. today i choose to fight back against Crave, for today i am free, i am clean, and i//'//m brave. jigget, PLEASE: To help keep this site INTERACTIVE, please read and comment on at least 3 poems by our other authors for each one you submit.
