Thriving
How do I thrive?
Having faith,
Self-discovery,
Having belief.
That’s what makes me
Feel alive.
What is a life
Without growth
And full of pain?
It’s a struggle,
Like rain
When all you want
Is a sunny day.
My sunshine,
That’s my son,
He is the key
To the recipe to thrive.
Thriving,
Alive,
He is my sunshine.
Sometimes it feels like
My entire life
Has been
Time wasted,
It feels like
So much time
Yearning for freedom.
All I want is a life
Worth living,
Not a lie.
Is that too realistic,
Too high of expectations
Must I lower my standard
To sunshine through saturation.
I always welcomed
The chance
To aspire more fulfilling
Aspirations,
To desire a self full of
More determination.
Road blocks
Slowed the road to
Reaching my expectations,
On the edge,
I cried out,
Head first I dove into
Chronic separation.
My sunshine deserves more,
No more depression spells,
No separations,
No addict in his life
Creating messes.
That’s why in the
Here and now,
My recovery is thriving
And I’m chasing
My aspirations,
My dreams are becoming life
And our life is
Full of life
Because I’m thriving.
