This is a poem that I wrote before the Lord delivered me from drug addiction. I hope that it blesses sombody who may need it too.
MY FIRST STEP
I long to have this dark beast off of my back.
I’m sick of the heartaches and the spiritual attacks.
Walking in darkness with no light to see.
I ask to myself “what has happened to me?”
I used to be warm hearted, passionate and kind.
Now I just feel like I’m losing my mind.
Broken and lost feeling all on my own.
I know in my heart I can’t beat this alone.
I’ve got to let go and to swallow my pride.
I’m tired of the game and there’s nowhere to hide.
I want to stop this addiction with all of my heart.
But where should I go and how do I start?
Admitting I’m powerless I fall to my knees.
I cry out to God “Lord help me please!”
He comforts me and surrounds me with His everlasting love.
Now that beast on my back he’s turning into a dove.

Praise the Lord for leading you to that first step and for sending you deliverance.
I pray that this poem will help someone else struggling with an addiction to reach out to God in their desperation. As you stated in the poem, you had to come to an end of your strength, your tries, your flesh....and turn it completely over to God.
This poem is a gift from God! So well stated and written, I know He led you write it. To the point, but with that cetain cadence.... Thanks for sharing.
Lord, lead others to freedom though this poem. I pray they will read this and surrneder to You once and for all. In Jesus Name, amen.
