evolution of an addict

 
I am ready to surrender the pain
I've nurtured it like it was a babe
suckled it and kept it close
I am ready to let it go

the hurt has grown out of control
I can no longer numb it
I can no longer hide from the cold

it has coils and fangs
it dances on my self esteem
sucking the life from me envenomating me
until I spit poison

I'm ready to stand and fight
I can't erase the past
I can change how I respond to the anger
I can change how I navigate this world

with honor in my blood
I vow to grow
from a child to a woman

I'm ready to go
