This Could Be The Day You're Driven

at the bottom you must make the choice...life or worse than death

“The Could Be The Day You’re Driven”

 

This could be the day you’re driven

Sunk to the bottom dark abyss

The only light now is above

Try to think clearly you can’t be remiss

Your mind saturated and scrambled

You’ve lost everything you now miss

Just for once face the naked truth

You are an addict,there's no more bliss

This could be the day you’re driven

You are simply left completely alone

Losing your family, losing your friends

While high felt, “bad-to-the-bone”

But as long as you had the next hit

The bridges you’ve burned all have flown

Think you are too weak to change

A whole new life would have to be sewn

 

This could be the day you’re driven

To many years of memories lost

Yearn for the bright laughter of mom

Wash your baby’s skin so soft

Feel the sensuality of your spouse

Siblings’ trust an even bigger loss

Is this the day you finally realize

All you sacrificed for addictions’ cost

 

This could be the day you’re driven

To grab on to anything you can hold

Your mind, your heart, your faith in spirit

Try rehabilitating; try straight and bold

Crack soaked tears hollow and flowing

All your efforts in one moment could fold

But you are at bottom, in the dark, all alone

It’s make-it or break-it, black or white, hot or cold

 

This could be the day you’re driven

Finally made the decision to try

Imagining the feel of those past memories

Not wanting your life a total lie

Pleading for God to accept repent

You want heaven, the Earth, the sky

This choice to be addicted or normal

Yes, means giving up your favorite high

 

THIS COULD BE THE DAY YOU’RE DRIVEN TO SURRENDER…TO YOUR OWN CHOSEN WILL!

Most folks wait to the last days. Which is sad. I believe we need to walk the good walk and we will know peace. Thank you dear Poet for sharing the outstanding poetry.
