Recovery Uncut
Vulnerable
Someone from, where I'm from... aint' suppose to love another human being, like this.
His eyes, and little bitty hands, his nose,.... and he has my lips.
What if something happens to him?
What if he has to experience, what I endured?
What if he falls and breaks a bone?
How am I supposed to make sure that no pain comes his way?
If something were to happen to Lil Lee, what would I do?
I did such a good job of blocking myself off, and keeping people at bay... and then came YOU.
I love Jesse,... your Mama is my Heart... and there's Angela, and Uncle Sam...My Momma, Loretta, Fateh, Jalaul, Jamal, Bubby, Ummie... and Tameka and all of dem'... but there's something Special about........ "YOU"!
Now, when I speak to parents, I'm able to feel their pain, at seeing their children losing the battle; to this thing called ADDICTION... choking our world.
When I hear them say: "Who is she... who has she become? Please Lord NO... I don't know her... Please tell me that she aint' ...what became of My Little Girl"!
susceptible to physical or emotional attack or harm...
the pain that I now feel, when faced with the reality, of the responsibility to inform a father, that his spitting image of a son... has been poisoned to death, by the poison, that his son, couldn't stop shooting into his feet, hands, legs, and arms?
I'm sorry Michelle... but Brian overdosed this morning; and this time, we weren't able to bring him back...
I know that Brian Jr, will have his 5th birthday tomorrow, and your daughter Seraphim is 10..........we placed his things, his..... belongings in this bag.
You inspired the " 13th Step", so that I could speak to you, just in case.... the future finds YOU without the presence of ME.
Again... I apologize, if any of my actions, should ever cause you to not be blessed with the treasures of being known as the third... and second version of ME.
There are now four lives... four fates, four hearts, four bright futures, four smiles, depending on Me.
