not a poem.. this is a song, that im not sure is complete, its in 5/4. i wrote it for a friend of mine who plays drums and has struggled with heroin and coke in the past. let me know what you guys honestly think of it.
I’ve seen the road you’re taking lately, man I’m proud
Ain’t no shame in knowing what you’re about
Don’t let it hold you down any more
We know the direction it steered you in before
Easy when it’s easy, won’t always be easy man
But when you feel all alone and weak, I know you can
Rise above and reach for so much, you can take it all
And I’ll be there to push you back up if you fall
Never forget the reasons
You fought hard for your freedom
You and I we see the road back to from where you came
We don’t need no easy way to bring back all the pain
We don’t need no crystal ball showing us how
Ain’t really so hard to see man that it’s better now
Temptation can kill, if you’re hand's in the cookie jar
It’s a fast track to the way back, you’ve come this far
Hundred thousand smiles to wait for, you could wipe away
Won't you share them with a friend cuz I’m here to stay
