Just wrote this for all those who have loved ones with addictions, or who suffer the pain of addiction in their lives.
Just smile at me mom
Cry as part of me and who I am I know
I can see the beauty behind swollen eyes
Walk with me
Out into the world god made for us
Throw out your pills
Fake rounds of sleeping sleep and comfort
Into the water which is real
Real sweet soft comfort
It actually rolls
Rolls if you'll let it
Splashes when you touch it
Surrounds you if you'll take it in
Pour out your sleeping rounds
Onto the surface of something that is real and watch them
False-faced, fabulous for what they are
In your eyes they melt
As much as real comfort pounds them they break apart
Too many lies they tell that they are strong
Blinding with masks of sleepy shadows
Push away their dark reflections
They are but an image of a former self that is not you
But blinds you
Contrast to their black whispers they are weak
Weaker than you
Grab my hand we'll watch them
Drift and drowned
Hold me till your shakings gone
And you can breathe and finally see what I can see
The beauty of the water as it drifts upon your feet.
I love you mom, Love Jess
