This isn't my first time around but I'm hoping it's my final ride, I started writing as a outlet for the feelings and emotions that we all have when we start this journey so I thought I would share it.
Everything I stand to lose is now tattooed on my flesh, there also a grim reminder of the times I've cheated death. I've gone through life a selfish addict destructive of the worst kind, destroying everything in my path the phenomenon of craving close to mind. The key to my salvation is but a few simple rules. God, honesty, and work are just three of my daily tools. I must turn obstacle into opportunity if I'm to succeed, bettering myself daily with simple selfless deeds. I can never forget how close I am to total self destruction, so I'll read what I wrote, look to the sky, and wait for his instruction.
