The Cage & Key

These lyrics are from a poem that my talented brother, Sean, wrote before he passed away. He wrote about the struggle of intrusive thoughts and the exhaustion that comes with addiction. The line, “I’m not a weak person, I had a weak moment” was a message from him given during a mediumship reading after he passed. Regardless of whether it was him or not, it struck a chord. If he wanted someone to take anything from this, it would be that: “I have been there, and many people feel this way right now too. I know that it doesn’t take away the exhaustion or the pain, but many people have come out of this. It comes in waves, kind of like when someone you love dies. Some of us must choose our rock bottom. Sometimes, it doesn’t feel like an epiphany or that moment you hear people talk about when telling their life stories. It’s a decision you make and to take one day at a time. You’re going to be ok.” (- His words to me many times.)
