Sobriety

I love being sober because I don't have to run outside just to get high
Not relying on a substance just to be able to get by
I can take constructive critisims, with out tears flowing down my eyes
I never would have thought this was possible, so this does come to my surprise.
I no longer numb my pain and I'm taking it all in head on
What I've learned about myself, is that i am very head strong
Being stubborn is working in my favor and with my parents I can get along
It's not perfect but its getting better, it's what keeps me stong
Though I am still emotional, it gets better each day
I have my problems like everyone else, but my heart is telling me it will all be okay
A positive image is what I try to portray
I recognize my self worth each and every day
Life has it's challenges but I find ways to over come them
I teach my daughter that when there is a problem to try and solve them
Lead by example, I'm a force to be reckoned with
A stong willed woman,  some might consider me a bitch
But in the eyes of my daughter, I'm not to be messed with
My bond with her is stong and I am in  a state of bliss
Life keeps throwing me lemons, but I feel stong enough to take the hits
Keep focused because it will pay off, I'm banking on it
I don't care about what others think
All the bullshit at my job, I'm so over it
It doesn't end there for me,  when the timings right, I'll be the first to split
I'm living my life for me and my daughter, the rest I could give a shit
I'm laying down my foundation brick by brick
Keep fucking going, because for her, it's fucking worth it!
