Brodie's Corner,  Poems on Addiction

Lessons

Climbing to the top of the mountain called Recovery

I reach out my hand to show others my discovery

Life had become pretty bitter but now its become pretty sweet

Even after all those hard lessons and a pretty long rap sheet

All my mistakes in life I don’t completely regret

‘Cause they taught me some life lessons that I will never forget

An empty stomach and sleeping in the cold

Will make you value simple things, not just money and gold
