My So-Called Life

My So-Called Life

A young kid, lost in a world of adversity.
So many choices, so many paths to follow.
One wrong decision, one wrong path, and life is altered.
Here begins a road which runs downhill,
A road called addiction.
More obstacles to face, more choices to be made.
Life gets harder, almost unbearable.
There seems to be no way out—only death.
One day the decision to surrender becomes apparent..
It is a choice which involves much hard work.
At times life’s problems become hard to face,
Though for once, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
The young kid is given another chance at life,
Almost like he is reborn.
New choices, new paths, new options.
His will is no longer in his hands,
But in the hands of GOD.
The light is brighter and brighter as each day passes.
For once there is hope and the urge to live.
Consistent action is all it takes,
Though the decision to take his will back can be deadly.
Keep it green, live in today;
Simple phrases which can save his life.
