Hi. This is a poem I wrote my 3rd day in rehab. I am in early recovery now. Thought this might relate to the people in rehab or recently released and their feelings. You are not alone, because this was for sure my feelings while in that situation. But it does get better.
If I Should Die Before My Time
If I should die before my time
I hope my mom and dad are fine
My baby brother and Sister too
They should be able to look up to me
But in actuality I look up to them two
If I should die before my time
I hope I can get to someone before they pick up that first drug
And let them know its really not worth it
Not at all my love
If I should die before my time
Let everyone in treatment know I felt their pain
Sick and tired of being sick and tired
The hurt is really all the same
If I should die before my time
Please tell everyone I did my best
Even though it may not have been much
It was all I could digest
If I should die before my time
Well it must have been my time to go
Because God has a plan for each and everyone of us
