My Greatest Goal
memories a distant haze
remembering the nightmare days
through my uncertain phase
when drugs were all my craze
I lie awake at night
recalling the great fight
high as the proverbial kite
the snorting of the white
the roller coaster ride
the times I had no pride
look washed up on the tide
I sat alone and cried
myself I could not tame
myself I knew the shame
myself only to blame
myself no more the same
effects are always here
though it's been many a year
still shed the oddest tear
regret my time on gear
still don't sleep well at all
lost it all I clearly recall
nightmares of my desperate fall
staying clean my greatest goal
