It's sad when one becomes addicted to drugs, any chance of normalcy drops very low and fast. But, when some see how far they've dropped, they've hit rock bottom and they have no clue. Good job!

Employment is always an issue, I think, no matter where your from or where you live now. This virus has so many bad things going for it; however, it has created some good things, which I hate to admit, connected with unemployment. There are tons of jobs to be found now. But, after its all over will they still exist?

I found your poem very well thoughout. It's construction has spotty places; however, I can over look that because I like the work you put into the poem. Blessed Be

What a great entry for the "something you overcame" contest. Very impressive that, even though you were stuck in a long rut, you were able to finally get out and move forward.

A well written poem that documents the journey you took to overcome your low self-esteem and gain the confidence to gain steady employment. Nicely done.
