If I Could Fly Away
If I could fly away,
To a place where the trees whisper a not so solemn song
In the morning, crisp light of dawn.
Whisper, whisper your beautiful song
Pierce through the night, to the morning light.
While my dreams take flight they whisper
Whisper, wonder, sing a song.
Keep me warm until the break of dawn.

Dear Reader,
This collection of poetry was written over a span of about ten years. They range from poems written by a little girl aged nine years, to a young woman of eighteen.
They are not in chronological order, they aren't labeled with dates. Most of my writing was lost over time.
...
The poems I’ve selected I did so with care, I feel they express from a child, or adolescent perspective what being the child of an addict can feel like. The only changes to these poems I’ve made are spelling errors and formatting.

Excerpt
"In the blink of an eye, the world can change. Your world that is. You know what I mean… there you are thinking life is grand. You’ve got all that you need and your life is on track, everything is going well when suddenly the phone rings and a relative has died. Or, someone you’d thought gone from your life forever shows up on your doorstep. In the gentle snap of that butterfly's wings your entire world has dropped out from under your feet and you can’t figure out which way is up.
This has been a constant in my life.
Every time I’ve tried to tell this story before, I’ve started at the beginning. This time, I’ll start at the end… or I suppose in this case, the present. "
