Live Today
Calling to me
Saying its ok
Be free cares will leave
On the table full of life it awaits
Eyes spot the bottle
Brown liquid as pretty as Gold
Grabbing my heart and soul
Best friend won't let me down
Alone bleeding heart drips
Telling my friend please stay
Don't leave so not alone and lost
Hand reaches out pours new life
Mouth opens bottle is dry
My friend has left
In sorrow here I sit
Drifting away mind goes blank
Awakend sick shaken mind racing
Lying in a pool of cold sweat
Deamons dancing in my head
Chasing tormenting death is near
Running racing fear in the air
Knowing the last breath leaves
Empty drained falling to the ground
Begging for forgiveness tears pour down
Top of the hill in sight
Climbing pacing each step made
Not looking behind so don't stumble down
Eyes focused missing distractions on the ground
Soul comes to life
New breath taken
Fullfilled set free
No pain in line for me
Taking my time to reach a goal
Staying sober not saying NO!
Having arrived sanity reached
Live for today just for today
