This group song, called “Memories,” was written by an exceptional group of young women in a program last year:
I’m seeking memories
To get away from all
The negativity
I sleep the day away
To try to stay away
From negativity
I’m feeling restless
From what was done to me
Before recovering
REFRAIN:
When I was broken
Way back in the old days
Depression made me hungry
For separation from those that hurt me
I wish that all the love
Could still be here for me
In recovery
I wish that I could trust
What people say to me
But I’m still struggling
People make promises
That they can never keep
Tired of the secrecy
(REFRAIN)
I wish they’d love me
With actual loyalty
But they keep on breaking me
I’m feeling lonely
I want a real one
To come and find me
I’ll break the cycle
That has been trapping me
I’m gonna break free
(repeat this verse 3 times)
