Recovering addicts

What's it like to be an addict? Do they regret getting into drugs? Do they want to come out of addiction?  Here are some thoughts from people who have the inside knowledge, some of them recovering addicts themselves.

WHY
By: Ahmed fairooz

Why did not I realize the value of my life?
Why is it today I am here?
What’s wrong with me?
What did I do wrong?
What do I need to correct what are my mistakes?
Can anyone tell me?

 

DRUGS….
By: Ahmed Nabyl

I slaughter myself every day,
Whenever I think why I used drugs,
And now I realize, just how harmful it is it is to our body, mind and soul,
It brought decay to y body,
Unhinged my mind,
And nearly killed my soul,
Now I am trapped inside its wall,
I seek light in this darkness,
I need rescuing, I demanded help,
For I feel cold and hollow,
Someone free my soul,

 

LOSING MY LIFE
By Adam Ihsan

Life is precious
But I didn’t believe before
Times run out
I didn’t know it before
Tears dry up
I didn’t care before
Sleep disappears
I didn’t see it before
Thoughts become confusions
I didn’t think before
Loosing my life again
Addiction brought me here

 

OH MAN
By Ahmed Adam

Sadness- Enveloped billow upon hill
Society - Sociological time bomb
Money- Diverted towards moral degeneration
Creed - Entangled in materialism
Time- Everyday takes closer to death
Hope- There is a cure

  

REALIZE
By Hassan Moosa

First time I didn’t realize what it was,
When I realized it,
It is painful and harmful to me,
From it I spent lot of money,
From it always got sadness,
Ho happiness came from it,
It was drugs,
 

BIGGEST MISTAKE
By Naushad

Why didn’t I realize it that day?
When I was making the biggest mistake,
Of my life, that all my dreams,
Would come crumbling down,
Why didn’t I understand it that day?
When I found myself trapped,
And running to escape
The beast which has me possessed
Why did I not confronted by the tears
Of my brethren
Who wanted me back from the dead?

 

IF TOMORROW COMES
By Najuma Ahmed

For sure there’ll always be tomorrow
To make up for an oversight,
And we always get second chance
To make everything just right
There will always be another chance
To say our “Anything I can do”
Tomorrow is not promised for anyone
Young or old alike
And today maybe the last chance
So if you are waiting for tomorrow
Why
Not to do it today
For if tom mow never comes
You’ll surly regret the day
Take time to say “I m sorry’
‘Please forgive me” thank you
And it okay
And if tomorrow never comes
You’ll have to regret about ‘the day’

  

FOOTSTEPS
By Mohamed Niyaz

 Last night I had a dream.
In my dream I was walking on a sandy beach. 
I could see the puffy clouds and the tall palm trees. 
After walking for a while I looked back
and saw meandering footsteps being washed away,
I thought to myself, Why did god leave me when I needed him the most?

The answer came right behind me
There was an angel he said to me it’s you who left behind but he knows you.
You ask of him you’ll get him.
