Scared, beaten, broken, empty, & hopeless.
A stranger met me at the door, Said I was welcomed and hugged me.
I sat and listened silently.

Scared but healing, hopeful and at peace with myself.
I have been going for years now.
Today the group members where in tears, We had lost a Newbie.
I went and got an empty chair and placed it in the middle of us for him.
