Intention to Survive Relapse


Intention to survive
buried deep 
slows downward spirals 
to cling to life again.

Intention to feel life again
suggests a frightening life change
without showing 
the steps to take.

Intention to be brave 
in the face of sobriety
is not considered courageous
may not even be considered.

Intention to survive
edges through a soiled conscience
as a steep upward climb 
begins once more.


“People will do amazing things to ensure their survival.”
~ Patricia Briggs, The Hob’s Barga
