"I am an addict", not "I was an
addict"…
words echoing in the full
room
so many who love him
who know what he had done
ready to lift him up
to heap him with praise
but he was quick to deny the
accolades
as if he was finished
the journey already won
his response stopping them
in their tracks
the battle day by day
