PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I cannot help  
reverting back
to my past mistakes.

I am always
backsliding,
falling on my face
again and again.  

Why can’t I resist
these forces  
that keep me down?

Do I enjoy being
miserable?

Or am I just not strong
enough to fight him
on my own?  

I cannot face recovery
without a helping hand.  

I cannot stay sober
if not for his forgiveness
repeating itself.
