POEM: Changes

Performed at Artists Against Addiction Showcase

Today as we embrace another beautiful day

Let’s be thankful for the great things that have come our way

In life there are struggles and down times

But we still have to find it in ourselves to smile

No matter what challenge you are facing

Or what heavy decision you are debating

We have to make certain changes

And It may take a whole live rearrangement

Because the choices we make today

Determine our life’s pathway

So let’s strive to make healthy choices

and resist temptations’ devices

there are so many negatives out there in our way

but we have to decide what part we play

even if you feel that you are in too deep

and you can’t find rest and you just can’t sleep

there is a better way

and there’s just one word that you have to say

and it’s “help”

stop and pray

don’t let drugs or alcohol be in your relay

because those choices are the wrong ones

and sooner or later, your soul will be gone

so instead of taking addictions path

stand your ground and awaken your heart

Make life changes that can take you higher

And Let good be your heart’s desire

Surround yourself with positivity

And Let love be a part of your gravity

Raise yourself and stand proud in dignity

Because your healthy choices help to build a healthy community
