James MorschingDear Unsealers,
We were born under the sign Gemini
That can be seen in the sky
We are made up of this energy
And atoms never die
A little skinny guy
Always wondering outside
But we never gave up learning
What it means to be alive
What were we taught to believe
At first, you don’t succeed
Try, try again
But it wasn’t that easy
When you’re treated like your diversity
Is of two different species
The world is needy
But where’s the love
When you’re dodging the greediest of robbers
That want your face in the mud
Pushed and shoved
But Daddy planted a seed
That came from a dove
That was the nub
To see our real rival
Dad gave us a book
With stories from the Bible
Fight or flight is built for our survival
But love thy neighbor
Because God’s love is greater
So I’m grateful for Our Lord and Savior
So thank you, James
Holder of the heel and calling on his name
Saved me from danger
Our life was forever changed
Through the trials and tribulations
We recover and maintain
With any personal relationship
It had its ups and downs
I praised, hated, joked, doubted, conversated,
Ignored, questioned, believed in, and played around
I know you remember the gold cross
We found that day we prayed aloud
Sitting right there in a patch of dirt
Like it fell from a cloud
So never be alarmed
When the prodigal son returns
The father receives you with open arms
Feeling God’s presence sat morning
Alone while eating lucky charms
Your faith was always strong
In The Lord Of Host of all the angels
Singing praise and song
We can call on you for protection
And good orderly direction
We believe in your resurrection
Your guidance and correction
So to thy will be true
We couldn’t get this far without you
Being born again and rising from the tomb
Having believed in the Son of Man
Who saved us from certain doomVoting starts February 6, 2025 12:00am

Surviving Addiction group 1 weeks, 3 days agoWeather the storm.
James MorschingDear Unsealers,
Weather the storm
Things will get much better
And if it gets too warm outside
Take off that damned hot sweater
I took a lot of L’s
Lost touch with heaven
Inching towards hell
Got high so much I fell
And it aint hard to tell
Lied so much for money
But my momma knows me well
Hurt the ones I loved so much
And still, I think my shit doesn’t smell
So let me share a story
Without no pain no glory
I didn’t horde the best things in life
Insanity came before me
I’m the victim
And Your the problem is the answer
And that’s how my addiction
Slowly eats at me like cancer
So around we go like a merry-go-round
And take it how it sounds
If this was my first real fight
I was knocked out in the first round
The rain steadily poured down
Wasn’t ready for It the Clown
Bit by bit I was put in the ground
But one more drug will make it better
And lift my spirits high
Now I act like nothing happened
And this is how I get by
A Gemini
Looking at his other half die
So dig deep down inside
Watching you just makes me wanna cry
Remember when you were a baby
There was that twinkle in your eyes
Remember God
Because he never left your side
Remember he will forever
And always will provide
Seek and you shall find
Now you see addictions left you blind
Recovery is where I put you
To receive this lifeline
Everyone there is just like you
Late but always on time
Weather the storm and everythings fine
Weather the storm
Things will get much better
And if it gets too warm outside
Take off that damned hot sweater
Breath again insanity brought us together
A fellowship is a bond
That can never be severed
Or rather broken
Share your voice
Be truly outspoken
Choose to defeat your demons
Sending them sailing out in the ocean
Never to return
This long-term addiction
I want it put in an urn
I am an undertaker holding it firm
Thankful for the twelve steps
And ready to learn
But cautious with every turn
With my eyes on the prize
Talking about how drugs were beating me up
From the inside
Felt like a pile of dirt
Quickly turning into a mudslide
So I don’t half-step
I am in it at full stride
And Wake up to a meeting
Early at sunrise
Weather the storm
To open those weary eyes
So things can get much better
And if it gets too warm outside
Take off that damned hot sweater.

Hey Matt, I watched my father slowly pass from lung cancer. And my mom is only getting older. Three cousins passed,2 were younger than me and passed due to drug addiction. And a bunch of guys I grew up around do to gun violence. But one thing I learned in recovery is life don’t get better we get better at life.

Surviving Addiction group 2 weeks, 4 days agoRun In with [the Gator ]
James MorschingDear Unsealers,
A life lost, a lost love
At what cost
Over a drug lust
Because one was too many
And a thousand was never enough
I’m crying
If I’m not working on living
I’m working on dying
Even a doctor can concur
A drug cycle is a revolving door
Try and escape it
And around that corner
Someone wants to offer more
With the little that they got
Knowing you got all the money
So you supply another drug in the pot
So everyone in my eyes
becomes as bad as a crooked cop
No honor among thieves
And no roads that say STOP
The Gator said this world is cold
That day we were walking down the block
And it’s sad to say
There could be needles where kids
Run and play
How is there any future
When things don’t seem to change
How many times do we have to keep coming back
Until it finally sticks to your brain
Before 911 is called to pick up your remains
There is no making sense
Out of what is insane
So if you’re the weak link
Join the Gang
Tweaking carpet surfing
With a shit stain
Class rigs, needle pricks, tricks, and nips
Complete the chain, a cause that affects the brain
No longer your own boss
Your owned and drowning in shame
Lost and looking for someone to blame
Seeing myself In the mirror
I don’t look the same
What’s even scarier
When will I ever change
Suffer for life
Or dive in the flames
Or hold on to what’s left
And try to maintain
As long as there is a breath
There is a chance to stay sane
Beat your addiction till nothing remains
Take my experience, strength, and hope
And use it for gain.

Surviving Addiction group 1 months agoA Bad dream
James MorschingDear Unsealers,
Do drugs define me
I remember many times
I was led blindly
The fact of the matter
My body was attacked by a substance
That made it hard to climb the ladder
Like a dizzy spell, caught up in a hell
Looking for a dealer who had the clientele
Now I am known well for blowing cash
And on the other side of the drug sale
So now I live to use
And my addiction uses me like blackmail
It’s the hammer, and I’m the crooked nail
Left shook, shaken and frail
I hope I don’t get booked in jail
Every day a new fairy tail
Hurry up and take it off the scale
Now I am chasing creating a crazy situation
Like a mental patient
Because boy I hate waiting
Debating like this makes sense
Now I hate myself
Because I made the fog more dence
How do I go on from here
Its like getting caught up In Freddy’s nightmare
The laughing, the slashing
Drawing me in for his mere satisfaction
Don’t go to sleep tonight
If I die there, I die in real life
He handed me drugs and beer
Needles and crack pipes
I tried to escape In a car
But couldn’t drive right
Crashed into a store
That transformed into a bar fight
Freddy knows everything about me
Plus what I like
I am about to lose my mind
Seeing everything he put in sight
He even created a glove
Each finger holds a knife
If I can gather the might
To make from this dream my friend
I don’t think I’ll ever go to sleep again
But back to the beat no need to pretend
I am at the grips of defeat
When suddenly Im surrounded
By everyone that should be resting in peace
Don’t let us die in vain
Is the only word they could speak
The man with the glove slowly creeps
And says you’ll be feeling their pain
By the end of this week
Just shut up and have this drink on me
I’ll let you wake up ,To be continued …
The next time we meet
I’ll be killing you softly
Till you are six feet deep
Now I am peering through a cracked window
What’s next on the menu
Caught up in a trance
Dancing with the devil is so sinful
But Im blessed with another chance
Hopped out of bed and put on my pants
Im sweating bullets
My life is full of triggers
I dare myself to pull it
Just to slip a fast one
Like this is all fun
Leaving my body numb
My best thinking was so dumb
There was the tricking for treating
This lifestyle will give you the runs
In more ways than one
You want the pain back
You can easily get a refund
This train is off-track
Best surrender if Im done
Freddy is still waiting on me
But what happened to the sun
My whole day wasted in reflection
On whether to fight or run
No second guessing
I’m better off biting my tongue
Before it is all too late
But how do I stay awake
Knowing my life is at stake
I Cant do this forever
Fighting an enemy thats so clever
I need tools of the trade
To help me with my endeavor
I have to pick or choose
Every time I close my eyes
I always lose
I desire to turn the fire out
But first I have to locate the fuse
Explosions sprout every time I use
It might be part of a script
But word of mouth is
meeting makers make it
So without a doubt
It’s never too late
To go see what they talk about
Hope it’s the same thing, from the same being
Who pulls the same strings
Hope there is hope
Seeing If Hope Springs
Hay is for horses
But hey I need some recovery courses
To keep Freddy at bay
Just like Chucky
He always wants to come out and play
But I am clean for today
but I need more power
Something stronger than myself
Cant be a coward
Just walk in and ask for help
I Heard a couple of quotes
Some experience, strength, and hope
The feeling I felt
Caused a not within my throat
I can’t tell a lie
When a question arises
Is anyone here for the first time
So what the heck
It’s all hands on deck
No one here poses a threat
I might as well start by getting my feet wet
It’s about time I take a look at the first step
I went home and fell out feeling like I owe a debt
I have been here before
Walked up to a house
And opened up a red door
There was writing on the floor
Seems scary but I still wanted to explore
A loud screech made me more aware
It’s Freddy’s shadow
Approaching from the rear
A quick slice to the side of my head
He said lend me your ear
I ran in panic frantically up the stairs
There were squatters everywhere
Offering a solution
In the form of poison
mind-altering confusion
I said no thanks
This is only the start
Of climbing up the ranks
Of everything that tore me apart
It started with the first drink
In the blink of an eye, I slowly sink
And I do not want to die before my time
So this weakest link
Drawn power from the divine
To stay in sync over time redeemed
Came to believe
Called others into my dream
A net like a web
Of brothers and sisters who stayed clean
This aint storytelling
This is real-life
In the heart of addiction
You pay a price
A waging war
He pulled a heist on my inner core
From this day and night
We push forward
To secure the evil forever more
Never no more will we mention his name
He grows weaker, We grow stronger
Through the pain.
To be continued………
