Stan Bridge Poet Rhyme

New Friends,Full Circle

The friends im with now soften the craving to drink
Had enough of the alcohol the smell and the stink
As i write down these words my friends kick in
The craving for a drink is strong but i wont let it win

6 weeks cold turkey now its getting slightly easier
The drinking days now getting slighter hazier
Me thinking in drink everything was so pleasent
The realisation now it was just a depressant

Hopefully now drinks behind me and im working to a plan
Ive got new friends now there called diazapam
Taken twice daily there helping the fight
By taking the edge off they give me respite

Along with the diaz's theres other friends too
Theres a friend called zoplicone he helps me sleep through
And along with the metazapine who gets me through the day 
The dark thoughts i harbour he helps keep at bay

But.....are these friends, the meds that i mention
Or do they just mask the anxiety and tension ?
Am i just thinking these friends are on my side
Or are they just suppresing the inevitable a downward slide

(6 months on)
The drinking the drugs both negative fads
The tablets arnt real friends there born in the labs
8 months dry now but my life is just fiction
My friends are my life now my new addiction

Confused and muddled pilled up and sedated
Ive swopped demon for demon my thirst isnt sated
Im in the grip of my friends now my problems seem wider
Ive had enough of this zombie state i reach for the cider
