Sober

Today is my turning point 
I know what needs to be 
done put it down and step
away I must learn how to
cope with emotion unstead 
of drowning it away time to
face those demons with a 
sober mind I've ran away 
from them for way to long 
I'm killing myself slowly no
longer today I'm putting the 
bottle away for good and never
looking back
