They told me I was a drug addict,
and I refused to consider it.
I was scared and I was fearless
and I was
ancient and young
and
I didn't know how
so many things could fit inside of me,
but I knew that they were wrong and they
could never understand.
They told me I was a drug addict
and I thought maybe
they knew what they were talking about,
after all,
and I wanted them to be right because
I wanted them to fix me.
They told me I was a drug addict
and I went to meetings
and collected chips
and spoke in group
and preached recovery.
They told me I was a drug addict
and I agreed until
I got to go home
and even then I kept agreeing
for a while.
They told me I was a drug addict
and I sat in meetings
and got a sponsor
and said all the right things
to my parents.
They told me I was a drug addict
and I got high
because I missed it.
They told me I was a drug addict
and they told my friends
and said I'd try to convince them I was okay,
and when I did,
no one knew who to believe.
They told me I was a drug addict
and that I hadn't changed at all
and even when they said they were sorry,
I knew they weren't,
really.
They told me I was a drug addict
in recovery and that
the worst was behind me.
They told me I was a drug addict
and I never stopped for good
because I guess I was never sure
if I believed them.
They told me I was a drug addict,
but I think I'm doing
okay.
