A child’s laughter, once so bright,
Dimmed by shadows of the night.
Seeking solace in a bitter vice,
Numbing the pain at too high a price.
Tried to be a partner, a parent too,
But the demons within, they always knew.
Happiness slipped through their grasp,
Love and family, a distant ask.
Now, on bended knee, they plead,
For redemption from this life they lead.
A second chance, a glimmer of hope,
To break free from addiction’s rope.
Their story’s not over, a new chapter awaits,
If they can find the strength to change their fate.
Redemption’s path is long and hard,
But worth the journey, for a life unmarred.
