Freedom

FREEDOM
If you don't dream
What does life mean
Just leave the fear behind
Or where you've been.
It's where you're going,
Your goals and dreams
The world is no longer 
What it seems.
Addiction was stealing me
Taking me away
Losing everything
Day by day by day.
My aim is for freedom
From all of this booze 
After all, I have
Nothing to lose.
Only hangovers,work absence,
Arguing with friends
Falling down in the street
The list never ends.
I am determined
To try and stay clean,
To never go back
To where I have been.
To reclaim my life
And have natural highs
Be there for my loved ones
As the addiction dies.
