Hey guys! I decided to come back and see what everyone had been up to, and I'm glad I did! I dont know if I'll stay long, but I figured I'd post a poem while I was "visiting".
This poem is basically about the first steps to recovery, the scariest steps.

Sand filters through my fingers
Thundering waves pound into the shore
I stand,
confused and lost,
for I do not recall how I got here.

I look up the shore,
and can see the shadows haunted by my past,
but in the opposite direction
I can see past the shadows,
to the light.

I turn and take a last look at the shadows behind me.
deep breath
I sink my foot into the sand
and look to those shadows awaiting me
or rather,
to what is waiting for me in those shadows...

Not my best, but I hope you enjoy it all the same!

I miss your poems! Come back! Excellent work here!

You know you're Canadian when if something's broken, the first thing you ask is if it can be fixed with WD-40 or Duct Tape

The first steps are always the scariest
because you never know what is coming.
Great job expressing that. I didn't read
much of your stuff before because i never
used to come to the teen area, but i read
this and enjoyed it!
Good job!
