Beautiful Woman
By: M.R.
I can honestly say I’m still a beautiful woman today
Even though my disease tries to come at me in every single way.
I want to share with you I’m a recovering heroin addict
I’ve physically consumed with no choice but to use
I can also share that I’ve been harmfully abused
My life was based on where I could get the next one,
I can honestly say I’m still a beautiful woman today.
I’m a type one diabetic for twenty years,
For a long time I thought this disease was a curse,
And I shed so many tears.
I come from a loving blessed family
So I can’t blame them for my horrible tragedies
Through this disease I forgot where I come from
I lost my faith, my love and all my moralities.
I can honestly say I’m still a beautiful woman today
This disease completely brought me to my knees
Only truly by God’s grace he had recovery for me
I feel like an eagle that soars high in the sky
Having freedom today, not having no choice that I had to get high
I can honestly say I’m still a beautiful woman today
If it wasn’t for the Amethyst program
I might have not realized how beautiful I am
Or all the core issues that kept me using
God only knew and kept refusing, that my life
Wasn’t over until he says it’s over!
I’m proud to say I’m a recovering addict
Blessed and true cause after all
I can honestly say I’m still a beautiful woman today.
