Recovery Poem From Darla

 

There is a monster who lives in my head, He talks to me softly he wants me dead.

He tells me this time I'll stay in control. He tells me not to let anyone know.

He convinces me that no one cares, He whispers the pain is to much to bear.

He tells me how wonderful I will feel. He tells me he loves me and it is real.

He tells me not to call anyone, My heart starts racing, he tells me it will be fun.

He tells me not to think of past times, He promises I can do it just once this time

Who is this monster who calls me by name, RELAPSE, he waiting to start the game.

Written while in detox 02-22-2002 by a addict named Darla
