it is so easy to judge people especially
0:10
people with addiction unsealer Matt
0:13
jablonsky is a recovering drug addict
0:16
through his poem just another junkie he
0:18
reminds us of the humanity within
0:20
himself and others battling this
0:23
horrific disease my poem is called just
0:26
another junkie um I'm a recovering
0:28
addict you'll need that for context but
0:31
uh do you think that I'm alone do you
0:33
think that I'm unique do you think that
0:35
I'm the only addict with a good heart
0:37
underneath look beyond the drugs the
0:39
sores and the blisters we're mothers
0:42
we're fathers we're brothers and sisters
0:44
it may be hard to see I know you can't
0:46
tell cuz I was there too and we hide it
0:49
so well the addiction takes over and you
0:51
watch us disappear into another world
0:54
like the other side of the mirror but
0:56
there is a way out we could become so
0:58
much more you see a lesser traveled path
1:01
that we call recovery it's not an easy
1:04
Road and many won't even try unless they
1:06
reach the point of change some will use
1:08
until they die so next time you see that
1:11
junkie or that drunkard on the street
1:13
pray that they get better than God they
1:15
finally meet because I am not alone and
1:18
I am not unique I am just another junkie
1:20
who got back up on his feet oh my God
