My Sobriety

I was afraid of the dark, Cuz' my head twisted and turned, And when the moon was full, My soul used to yearn. I wished I was happy, Full of grace and dignity, I wished I could have seen me, The way you saw me. I'm was afraid of the day, Cuz' I felt alone and confused, In the past it was so easy, I'd just get up and use. I was afraid of you, Cuz' you're my deadly disease, If I took that first pill, My heart would've been at ease. But I've become stronger, I've learned to put me first, I've finally learned my lesson, Using only makes me worse. I promise I'll never swallow, The first pill that could kill me, For now I wish to live, My sobriety full of serenity.

Laura, you are very talented. I' choose the enjoyment of life over anything or anyone that takes from me. At one time or another I have had this war myself. SKAT
