Stepping Out of Myself

With the twelve steps of recovery, I have stepped out of myself. ~ For Today (Kindle Location 232).

Funny how one body
can feel so huge but so small,
so inadequate, so worthless.
But still, no matter how restrictive
it felt, it was my whole world.
Making people appreciate me,
directing others so they do things right —
my way. The body was my whole world.
But that's in the past. Little did I know
when I "walked" these Steps
the path would lead to the great beyond,
that as I realized how little I could control
the world world opened up
beyond myself.
