600 days

I have been clean for 600 days.

Clean from the drugs that once tore me away,

Away from my family,

Away from my friends,

Away from the joy that I never meant to end.

I have been clean for 600 days.

The world has opened up once again,

I found a way out, I found a real friend,

A friend in myself,

A friend I can love,

Never again will my mind begin to shove,

My dreams and goals,

And make some deep holes,

holes that tear me far from my soul.

I have been clean for 600 days.

Today I am free as long as I choose to be.

I chose to be me,

I choose to see,

The life I was meant to lead.
