Hope

April 21, 2019

She’s scared, almost desperate.

I lay in the dark listening to the voices in my head are hers.

They are loud, oh so loud tonight robbing me of the sleep I so yearn.

Whispers, unintelligible garbled sobs of desperation.

She waits in the shadows where I have banished her.

A child, I can feel him clawing at my throat. Reaching. Falling. Trying again.

He can see my light she tries to extinguish.

Tonight a battle is being fought.

I left the hateful rhetoric of Facebook to come here to carry a message of hope and healing I'm in recovery from addiction and rebuilding a life filled with purpose and creativity. Whether I'm playing the piano, baking, gardening, or knitting, I’ve found healing in the simple, meaningful moments. Buzz Kill Diaries is where I share honest reflections on recovery - one day at a time.
