Michael Downing
Don't despair
Poor choices
Have made it hard
To move out there
Hopes and dreams
Shrinking
Like a puddle
You against the world
In an epic struggle
Hiding in the weeds
Hoping nobody ties you
To your dirty deeds
Just another
Nevei^do-well
On addiction’s carousel
The symptoms
Of your disease
Set you up to fail

Coming down, withdrawals
And your lifestyle
Left you weak and frail
You were so strong and proud
Until addiction
Took the silver lining
From your cloud
Telling you nothing new
Out there to discover
No cure
For addiction’s thuggery

�Rise UP

What about recovery
Let’s do it together
Weather the storm
'Vbu weren’t born
To ride that roller coaster
You’re more than a face
On a wanted poster

We can rise up
Everyday like the sun
Battling demons
That began with “just one”
Those days are done
Now, a thousands never enough
We’ll rise up a thousand times
And a thousand more
If that's not enough
We’ll rise up
Rise like a wave
And just ride
Away,
From an early grave
Rise, until your untied
From the demons,
Screaming your name
Rise up,
No longer tied
To the daily pain
Nothing left to lose
And the world to gain
Only you can chose
To come in from the rain
