None For Me, Thanks

I tried, I failed, I tried again
I lied, I bailed, once more I sinned
But I got back up
and smacked down the cup
That emptied me so
Of my plenty and fallow

My drink became drought
On the brink of my doubt
I stood in the luminous numbness
Full of voluminous glumness
And decided to stop for good
Provided that I could

Done with despair
I am one squared
Over the distress
My motor of success
Continues to run well
As my issues are quelled
