TO BE ME

by J-Aquabuzz - Aquarius

When exactly did the alcohol and drugs take control of my 
life?
When did they leave me sitting in confusion and strife?
Did I now when it happened?
But thought it was a lie
Or did I just not see?
Because my brain cells were fried
I do know I seemed happy
I seemed trouble free
But that wasn't real
Couldn't anyone see?
I wasn't me
I was heading toward a one way collision 
A collision with myself
When the day finally did come
I couldn't hide
I couldn't run
My whole being was turned inside out
And in a way I was washed clean
And now I know exactly what it means to be free
Because I can finally feel and see
What it's like to be me

Reason for writing:

    My life over the past two and a half years. But now I'm clean 
and I'm going to keep it that way!!!
