Drinker's Doom In Sobriety's Sanctuary

Your drinker's doom Turned out to be a tranquil tomb Is there any room To bring out your brilliant, legitimate bloom? You linger around my restful haven, My darksome and lonesome, yet pretty satisfying bedroom You stared at me vacantly and brazen Like a obnoxious, prideful alcoholic, oblivious of his doom Exhausted and excited to see you accidentally come and go, so I’m going to and fro It’s exhilarating, yet humiliating to go with society's so-called normality flow – give me time to grow Mesmerized by the moments we shared and separated with cares, centuries ago In general, I feel like I am a single grain of sand in the sea, caught in the current of the shore's blow Skulls and bones symbolism keeps me safe and shelters me entirely from the grieving process Because I will appreciate death and life, going through the sullen struggles, not always a success I embrace the passing away of a physical loved one with open arms and watch them swarm My mentality will be marked with motivation, not meaning to hurt anyone and do any harm You hypnotized me haphazardly with your sympathy symphony I have freely lifted from the ground of gigantic gravity Nothing’s going to bring me down, so don’t even try to do so or I will grow shy Happiness is something I can’t deny…unless you take it away from me and lead me astray in pitiful prosperity There are no reasons to doubt or fear…the only cry you’ll hear is my joyful cry Ensnarement brings me bewilderment beyond belief – relieve the brief grief and let me see my true destiny… I have nearly saved you from your demise-stricken fatality You finally realized the world is wickedly insidious…practically… You keep getting distracted and drastically dazed by the mere bottom of your blasted liquor mug Keep your hungry, drunken eyes on me and sober up extremely You think I’m an inadequate, insignificant individual? I’m more than a shrug and a friend to hug I am your considerate friend that stuck by your side perpetually I admit it – I don’t always run the extra mile I am a flimsy, forgetful person once in a while It is really obvious that you act more frivolous these wild and war-struck days You don’t act genius when you pretend you are better than I am in many ways You deserve better things than me, plus a life of happiness and endless success Can’t I earn something beneficially significant and authentically elegant? I already learned a million lessons the hard way and changed for personal progress What you want from me? What are your motives? To stomp on me like an ant.. Don’t drag me down with your hopeless hatred towards you and others You used to bring the good out of me when we were young and like brothers Now, you threw me out into the garbage bin like a stained, ruined rag Somehow, you’ll understand that life is not just a game of childish tag Someday, you will be caught for being a thief of hearts and broken promises It’s okay, I have built strength to fight away the fright that hangs me by my toes I have pushed the limits to the brink and dipped my feet in your iced-up, fiery passion Your desire towards a far greater and happier tomorrow seems like mere interaction… Interaction without the ardent action in anticipation Is simply naught in my yesterday's yearning fascination Replace the remorseful angst and return to me salvation…. A surreal sensation, I will wear like a backpack without hesitation You made me feel at peace with your fearless refuge, (thankful you sobered up thoughtfully) So thank you for giving me the unconditional courage (linger around my comfort zone boldly) You’re fixated on my free-falls and the aftermath of its downfalls…it’s offensive and irksome, pardon my soul that’s sensitive...in need of spiritual, vast grace I’m like a paranoid, protective priest, shouting words of wisdom triumphantly – time leaves you in a haste, but His wise Word isn’t, ever, a waste of space You were aware you hurt others with your hopeless, heartless actions you somewhat senselessly do You were aware I was awfully scared for your safety's sake – mortified by corruption's consumption Don’t drink away your issues and sipping the liquids' blue – the horrid past, you cannot candidly undo Sorry for assuming the worst in you, but the best in you will shine through without any interruption
