A poem written as overcoming Porn addiction. Named: Where I been.

If I told you I lived a life of sin that wouldn't begin To tell you where I been There's been ponds and trenches A normal soul couldn't swim That I was diving in So should I tell you where I've been? Need I must It was lust And disgust That turned this golden heart to rust And with one touch Turned to dust That will blow with the slightest bit of gust In order to grow It's me I learned to trust Needless to say As I rebuild like molding clay I've seen my flaws learned to pause In moments of withdrawals And keep my goal To leave my heart whole I may bend I won't break I may even fold I once had a heart that was gold If I told you I lived a life of sin That wouldn't begin To tell you where I been I try to fight urge But it's a surge With my pen and page I build up courage To fight this war Inside my mind That I'm sure each one of us find Can steer us blind And yet still we still try This is something we can win This lust has no control Remember what's the goal Keep the streak The strong, the weak Keep the streak In this we speak
