Alcoholism Recovery Poem - Fourth Step Poem: "Brought into the light"

Fourth Step
Brought Into The Light
By D. Connolly

These resentments and Fears
Brought many others to tears

Malignant acts of selfishness and dishonesty
They now bear the scars of our past reciprocity 

Manifesting self only brought mutual destruction
Silencing the spirit to worship my own construction

Spending imperious years in turmoil and denial
While allowing myself to be so vile

After inking the order of my faults
Realizing my divergence from acceptable results

Clarity expounds out of this fearless inventory
An excavation into the depths of my history

Recognizing the burial ground of childhood tears
The initiation of abandonment led to lost years

God has shed a new light on this past life

Another person awaits to hear of my plight
