Original Poem - Through Hell & Back
By : Mike Gliem a.k.a. Recovery Mike #survivor
Through fire and brimstone, I have walked
Through rivers of tears, I have talked
Through darkness and despair, I have fought
Through every trial, I have wrought
My soul was scorched by the flames of pain
My heart was shattered by the weight of shame
My spirit was crushed by the burden of blame
But I refused to let them claim
My will to live, my will to thrive
My hope for better days to arrive
My faith in a power beyond the strife
That kept me going through the night
And now I stand on solid ground
With scars that tell a story profound
Of resilience, of strength, of being unbound
By the forces that once had me drowned
For I have been to hell and back
And though the journey was rough and black
I emerged victorious, with nothing to lack
For I am still standing, and that's a fact.
