"Addiction Poem" A Message of Hope

[@user-jb6xp6vz5c]

Being an addict is like being in love with someone you know does not love you and is lying to your face. And every lie you hear, you love more back. Until everything is gone because you kept nothing for yourself.

[@JadenBorn]

I listen to this poem almost every day now. Few years back I wasn't sure if I could even get off meth or fent and now I'm putting weed down for the first time since I was 14, I'm 22 now. Never been so proud of myself. Never say Never because you are ALWAYS capable of following your goals and chasing your dreams, never give up!

[@Walkerrides]

Good shit man. Keep it up

[@geezeITSlexii]

You got this bro 💪

"Make your heart the strongest muscle that you´ve got" this poem is so inspiring, touching and amazing.

[@jasonohanlon5889]

[@emilyroseayres84]

Raw, relatable and beautiful. Thank you kindly for sharing this hard-hitting and hopeful poem.

[@BridgetBurke-q5z]

Sooo inspiritional. Thank you.❤

[@truthhertz351]

Thank you. It has been a while since I see words of heart. Words mending our broken bones. Words heavier than stone, making my mind blown. Words that start new life in stride, and makes us look to the sky. Even though life on that other side won't be all rainbows and butterflies. So we look upon our standing ground that shakes beneath our feet. And jump past undiscovered bounds so we can land on the same streets. Because that's all we get to see, Limit is our inevitibility. But we must believe. Seize the life you have been bestowed Think outside the box Drive on that less traveled road And break from your routine clocks. Because mistakes in life should be yours to make, you should be the one to choose the lane you take, and for God's sake. Know that it won't be a peace of cake. Know that if you keep your feet strong, your legs will not break. Don't doubt. Just take.

[@PhantomOOfer_Official]

May I use this in my homework speech?

[@LeahMcGee]

I shared this becasue I think it was awesome. it is a hard thing and sometimes people need to remember to have hope.

[@timbota90]

Very powerful! These words speak straight to my heart about where I've been and where I'm going.

[@chipper_dude]

I can't think of anything to say, but I fell as if something should be said, so until the gears in my head start turning, this si a fantastic poem, and you should feel unending pride over it.

[@StephenAllanson-lf5sv]

timing is everything? _ this video just hit me @ the perfect time

[@AmpsforBuddha]

The biggest addiction we are facing, is the addiction to money. From the "white collar" crimes of Wall Street to the street corner drug dealer. How much is enough profit? Why does money have to come between human beings and basic necessities? …When we switch from a Monetary based economy to a Resource Based Economy, harmful addictions will become a thing of the past.

[@queenstixxzz]

preach it! fight the nwo people while we still can.

[@truthhertz351]

Nice dream but it wouldn't work. Not only would that get no publicity from companies that make a lot of money, not only would everyone want the same resources, but if that was even close to happening the richest of the richest could easily buy many resources while they still can, allowing them to still have the luxuries and even put them in a position to change the economy back to it's monetary based system that the entire world is following. The only way we can save countries from this insanity is by allowing the rich to pay higher taxes than they are, distributing more money into the economy so it can function better, and making people less desperate for money. I'm sorry but reality is no perfect world, in order for true equality we must have money, however even a fair system can be tainted by the greed of mankind. The only way your goal can be true is if money becomes something available to all of us, then let all of us decide on what is beneficial to all of us.

[@alucard1uk]

absolutely beautiful poem :)

[@johnconlow3336]

What a great poem and the song adds so much to it. Another great youtube video on this subject is 'On life right now: Maddy Dietz, 2020 National Student Poet for the Midwest' on Planet Classroom Network. Maddy reads “Abridged Drinker’s Dictionary.”

I am not a patient or loved one of this place, I don't live anywhere near texas. ***I AM RIGHTING THIS TO WARN LOVED ONES AND PATIENTS TO AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE According to several former patients and loved ones, the 5-star Google Maps reviews are FAKE! For example... 1. Many of them are literally written and posted by employees of the place which is extremely dishonest behavior 2. Even worse, the staff there tend to apparently intimidate, bully, and/or pressure THEIR OWN PATIENTS INTO LEAVING THEM This is just one of maaaaaany things that shock me that such a place exists in the US!

[@lxstsxul4100]

I was sober for 6 months.. the longest I've been since I started.. I bought a dime the other day just because... and now.. I can't stop. I don't want to be back where I started.. Im relapsing.. and I hate myself for it. My mum would literally die if she knew I was doing it.. but its the only thing that makes me feel okay. my meds don't work, and I don't want to tell anyone that because I hate changing them every month. how did I go from being totally against it.. to doing it every day for months to and then to finally being sober and letting myself fall right back into it..?

[@Theultimatecuppy]

Hey. How are you doing?

[@tommyferguson5237]

I don't think my heart should be my strongest muscle. For me personally, it needs to be my brain.

[@paristaylor4838]

I'm a out n out s,o,b but hearing this makes me a bit less so.

[@maxb6793]

This is Amazing, I want to turn it into a song. This is so beautiful. Anyone know where I can find the words for it?

[@Micodalaholla]

I agree! The words are posted in the description below the video

[@jamespiner5638]

Damn I need help so badly

[@RcTranMD]

Did Shane Koyczan write this it's sounds like his inspirational work and his voice

[@Micodalaholla]

It is from IN-Q, a great spoken word poet in a similar genre as Shane

[@brianbarnes4437]

Life long lessons condensed into 3.26. Cool :)

[@Verypolitesquid]

[@lorenahernandez9501]

Now, he does :)

[@ronedeetlefs8386]

does anyone maybe know the music used in this video?

[@johnjuneau1217]

Would if those bars were not meant for you to be encoded behind and those scars were not meant for you to carry and that void was meant for something for greatness to reside and be created within you. We have never been alone and the God that created the pillars of the earth says to come forth that you have been called into a new life not set on look backs on what has been, might have been but a divine destiny created especially for you. There is a door set before that is inviting cutting away all the strings that once held you as a puppet against you own will creating a delusion of what has been spoken and created for you. If our desires had the power within them to create unity with the positive influence and strength to walk in a heavenly realm that is eternal and offered by the door holder who gives to you a key to a new entrance. There is a voice that echos through the sky today that says strengthen yourself and walk into your purpose the destiny created for you, let your past be a place where a new seed can be planted and life shall come forth. For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans for your welfare future and a hope. Plans for your prosperity not to harm you. You will find me when you seek me will all your heart so seek me will all your heart.
