Hello? War In Here

It was one of those moments The ones no one ever views in real life Well I was cleaning my closet out And I found empty whiskey bottles That we'd shared for a while Hidden under all the clothes You left through the years It got even worse When I found that old picture Of us sitting down, both 30 pounds lighter We used to be so young With our big hair and first packs This is when it all started When it started to get blurry It was insane to see How much we would take from eachother At 3 am I thought of how you were in bed And noticed I would take my turn Only when I was on the fix Only when we were together Not for anyone else It was plain to see That I took my anger out on you I put all the blame on you My first joint was shared with you And since then I passed through the gates Only to find my dependence on them all It's all on me, just leave me alone

Amazing read. Inspiring. To be clean, you have to stay away from the old environs and people. I am sure you already know that.
