My Sobriety
I was afraid of the dark,
Cuz' my head twisted and turned,
And when the moon was full,
My soul used to yearn.
I wished I was happy,
Full of grace and dignity,
I wished I could have seen me,
The way you saw me.
I'm was afraid of the day,
Cuz' I felt alone and confused,
In the past it was so easy,
I'd just get up and use.
I was afraid of you,
Cuz' you're my deadly disease,
If I took that first pill,
My heart would've been at ease.
But I've become stronger,
I've learned to put me first,
I've finally learned my lesson,
Using only makes me worse.
I promise I'll never swallow,
The first pill that could kill me,
For now I wish to live,
My sobriety full of serenity.
