Hi BL, I just wrote this (draft 1) as a a mantra to use while detoxing. Does anyone have anything they use to fight through the pain / anxiety / cravings? Would love to hear it! Hope you enjoy:



Tempt me, I dare you, I am going to get clean,
Healthy and clear, and a life so serene.


The demons and dragons, who dare challenge me,
I now wage my war, and I issue my decree.


Your chemical claws, no longer grip me,
My will remains strong, both focused and free.


My body betrays me, to such a degree,
Yet my mind is a weapon, and I will eventually break free.


A prisoner of war, torture, and pain,
I come close to the edge, nearly going insane,


Minutes are hours, and hours eternity,
But the time is now ours, and inevitably,


A horrific experience, is but temporary,
Soon all will be behind me, a mere memory.


I will retrain my body to work properly,
Body and mind, working in pure harmony.


Stronger than before, I am reborn into the light,
Emerging from darkness, I slowly regain my sight.


Forever a warrior, in the hardest of fights,
Fighting for my freedom, for love and delight.


Tempt me, I dare you, I am going to get clean,
Soon this hell will be forgotten, and a life so serene.

For some reason I get all emotional whilst detoxing, and I write poetry...here is another one I wrote last week about what it would be like to lose the girl I love (or boy if that's your thing):

Have you ever felt, the power of not,
Torn from love, but never forgot,


Haunted by ghosts, and tortured by dreams,
A smile on my face, but not all as it seems,


Chizzled in stone, your words I still hear,
You've decided to leave, your head is so clear,


Myself divided, when you ceased to be mine,
My world is shrinking, one day at a time,


I hang onto moments, distant and past,
Fighting the tears, I put on my mask,


The devil is closing, my time drawing near,
I can't help but wonder, who you now hold so dear,


And yet you live on, and new memories make,
A shadow I now know, and a past I forsake,


I hang on the thought, that one day I will hear,
That after all this time past, you still hold me dear.


Katie my love, please forget me not,
I can feel the power, and I never forgot.

Thank you, thank you. I love to hear that someone else can enjoy something I wrote to help me :)
 
I lie on the floor, after my body has bled,
A sticky crimson lake, I'll shortly be dead.


Frantic thoughts, of life and death,
I can barely feel, my shallow breath,


I stare at the razor, now covered in red,
The instrument of death, two feet from my head,


Nashing my teeth, and hands clinched tight,
Thinking of nothingness, I flinch at the sight,


Time slows down, and reality shakes,
The next portion of my journey, I'm about to take,


I think of your face, and I begin to cry,
I start to regret, not saying goodbye,


Love is a curse, when it shatters and breaks,
But without the experience, an empty life makes,


Darkness is swarming, from the corner of my eyes,
My nervous system relaxes, as my body now dies,


Matter transforming, soul from body breaks,
Am I losing a life, or did I make an escape?


A lifeless dead body, I leave on the floor,
Whoever I was, I am never more.
