The Road To Sobriety
As I crawl upon a sober Road.
A friend lends a hand, and many stories are told
so many people like me that have chosen life
Chosen to be free
Addiction is a Family Curse that does not discriminate
cares not about your race, or how much money do you make
this Demon only turns once was loved , into something it can devastate
It is there you learn how to suppress all fear and pain
there to hold you down, taking lives , taking names with nothing to gain
As I crawl upon the road, it is Dark, it is cold, it is so hard to see
It's only then I realize there is so many like me
Nothing is easy as you face yourself, we all are broken
so much you should have, could have, all words unspoken
to walk upon this road takes courage, takes strength
living life without being Anesthetized , living so openly criticized
"It works if you work it " all the clichés you dislike
They really do work , so listen and you will not have to ride a bike
So many times you can Fall, you'll know what to do , and whom to call
Out of the Darkness A friend helps you stand, a good cup of coffee with number in hand.
there to help you , there to lift you up, there to help you stand.
You must share in all honesty, then you will be driven to start over with Integrity.
