I'M Drowning

I am a soda addict
Of this I can attest
I must give up the soda
I have to do my best

The carbonation kills me
Yet still I drink it down
I wake up in the morning
To not so friendly sounds

I now drink so much water
I’m ready to explode
I’m always in the bathroom
Relieving from the load

They say the water helps with
The brittleness of bones
But all it really helps with 
Is passing of some stones

Though, I am feeling better
As water is so healthy
My bladder is now filled
Giving me much buoyancy
