Full Speed Ahead

Looks of poison,
blood runs cold,
misery in chains,
my life unfolds.

Years of torment,
trying to escape,
useless to try,
free inmate.

Control you take,
dominate the nest,
time to leave,
I must confess.

Enough of this,
can't take any more,
my butt is heading,
out that door....

After I,m gone,
and you sit alone,
think of the many,
nights you were stoned.

Time is running,
full speed ahead,
I have to live,
before I am dead......

Some times it takes bitter medicine to get the job done. It is sad when booze are drugs mean more than our loved ones. God Bless. Ron
