the worst part

isn’t being the fiend

as at the time

you loved

the being & doing

of all of that

nor is it

being an ex-fiend

the worst part is

you’ve put the work in

working out the

what where & whys

those how comes

accepted responsibility

& now you know

atom bone deep

those long roads

are no longer yours to roam

you’ve moved on

while those

around you haven’t

& a fiend can’t have regrets

for finding rock bottom
