The Answer

Can we guarantee you this recovery? The answer is simple. ~ Overeaters Anonymous “Our Invitation to You”

Simple, not easy. And not a bequest.
Recovery is not given to all,
whether or not sought,
no matter the attitude toward receipt.
It’s not some divine right,
a doctrine of authority given,
a natural right, something unquestionable.
The answer is simple…but that simple sentence
is followed by a string of clauses
beginning with if.

But for a person who wants sanity,
who wants to recover, who needs the answer,
for a person willing to go to any lengths,
the truly, The answer is simple.
