How did I get to this place….?

​I thought life would be good
And in parts it has been great,
You meet good people and bad
Kick the latter who are personally sad. 

Then you try something that takes you to the edge, 
Some are measured, hold back when the shining lights cause alarm
Drink, drugs, sex, gambling and over eating 
You are facing life, in a constant beating. 

I want God right now
I need him to keep me aligned throughout the day,
There will be people you love but you can’t be around
Guarding your heart is essential and preventively profound. 

Perhaps it’s genetics 
Perhaps it’s social care system which has failed,
Perhaps people are left to their own devices, when actually the combination of these scientific traits have staled. 

The fight and flight circumstance shall always be around, 
This is about free will and praying, 
And if you don’t believe, I see that you won’t be staying. 

I pray for everyone to be okay
But the fact is, bad things happen to good people, and sometimes no fault of their own
The tapestry of addictions and recovery is that one day there are people that won’t leave you alone.
