Fifth year of not having you with me
I was hoping it would get easier by now.
~~~
Fourth Christmas Spent without you
Still writing Santa Clause
To bring you back into my life.
~~~
Third letter down
Maybe it's because I stayed on the naughty list.
~~~
Second year not numbed out of my mind on heroin
Can I get off that naughty list now?
~~~
First year I'm really starting to adjust my priorities
And not only seeking to be a better version of myself,
But making concrete changes in my belief system.
~~~
I'm being a good girl now Santa
I'm loving myself more everyday
And seeing the value I hold in life.
~~~
I'm not letting my demons conquer me,
Well I still have a couple
But they no longer control me
I am destroying them more and more every day
With unconditional love
And acceptance of what is.
~~~
I won't stop asking though,
Please help me become strong and worthy enough,
Deserving of having them back in my life,
So that when that day does come,
They meet someone they couldn't be more proud of.
~~~
Thanks Santa.
