I walked in not knowing what to expect,
filled with shame, guilt and a life full of regret.
As I sat and listened to the words they read,
I wept mournfully as I identified to what had been said.
Did they know who I was...had I been here before?
Did they see me coming before I walked through the door?
Those readings told of everything I had done,
they told of all the feeligns, of what I had become.
How could the hug me knowing of my past?
How could they accept me without a second glance?
But accept me they did and welcomed me to come again.
Told me I was in the right place and to call if I needed a friend.
I felt a sense of relief that my secret was out.
I knew I was home, there lay no doubt.
Never before was I so sure I belonged, for once in my life, I felt safe and that my struggles to stay clean would soon be gone.
