Messege in a Bottle-Clean-Joe

As I drop this bottle from my lips
Exist no more my final sips
Sealed with drops of blood and tears
This note and my lost years
Represents the price
Of liquid vice
Future seen
Sober 
Clean

    Hey Joe, happy for you that you were able to read this message in the bottle. Not everyone can see their "lost years"! Hope you were able to maintain keeping "sober and clean"! Best wishes, Mikki
