From One Addict to Any One
When I told you I was an addict I was reaching out for help.
When I told you I was an addict, It gave you permission to
be angry, sad, hurt and confused.
When I told you I was sorry I hoped for the forgiveness that
I needed.
When I told you I was changing my life and I was making my
amends, I hoped you would learn from my mistakes.
When I told you I was an addict it didn't give you
permission to use me for an excuse.
When I told you I was an addict it didn't give you permission
to make the same mistakes I did.
When I told you I was an addict it was meant to help you not
harm you.
When I told you I was an addict it wasn't to give you
permission to throw it in my face whenever it hurts.
When I told you I was an addict it wasn't permission to
follow in my footsteps.
When I opened up my heart and my arms it was to help break
all those chains and set our family free.
When I opened my eyes I saw the hurt on your face and the
pain in your heart.
When I admitted my mistakes I witnessed your mistakes.
When I opened my ears I heard your cry for help.
When I try to help you push me away.
When I talk to you I can sense the hurt and pain you are
trying to cover, the same way I did.
When you are ready you will have me right here waiting.
Learn from what I have done, Don’t repeat what I have done.
You have too much to live for so why drown out life in a
haze.
