Best Sober Poems

You know how I sometimes wish life would be easier
then I realize with easy comes self reliance 
and we can’t depend on ourselves

the air that we breathe comes from somewhere
-	a higher power
that power decides whether we stop breathing
or continue living

so if your days feel like...

Twas a fine October morning,
one September, last July!
The moon lay thick upon the ground,
the mud, shone in the sky!
The flowers, were singing sweetly
and the birds were in full bloom!
As I, walked down the cellar steps,
to sweep the upstairs room!
The time was Tuesday morning,
on a Wednesday,...

They fade away 
Like distant memories
Do not cling to their toxic remarks

It’s meant to pull you down
Hidden behind
Their smiles and falsified hugs
Of reassurance

Watch their hands
Watch your back
Do a double take

For the marks made by their knives

You might not feel it now
It might be just a...

Am I missing some thing.Do I misunderstand,as a witness I stand,witnessing the folly and madness of my land. For the devilish materialistic feel of cash in their hand,they will cut the hand of their brother man.All just to conquer the materialistic land,of jewels and the...

You lived a hard life with tortured soul
Wanted more struggled to be whole
Addiction became your whole being
Your life has to have a meaning

I watched your tortured soul for years
Carrying bags with drink and beer
Hiding it more from yourself than me
The drunk is what you came...

I know alcohol has always been apart of my life it's like it's the only truth

Sober
A thought
A sobering thought
I write - All my pain
When sober I'm not
It hurts all again
All this hurt when it rains
And these dreams
All these dreams
My "Great Fountain of Dreams"

I'll write 'till "The End"
I'm dead in my fight
Translucent
You see
See through me
See me
As sober can be
Not sober to...

I am scared and fearless at the same time
I am sober and drunk all together
I am wild and conservative and just plain nuts
And I pull stunts like I'll live forever.
I do comepletely stupid stuff
And I don't really care what happens 
If I survive, that's another...

I only drank one year, a while
I vastly prefer self-denial
Didn't like myself more
Back when dates *tried* to score
Now I've let them go, with a smile :)

Never got totally wasted
(Well, didn't like how it tasted)
Just pressured socially
So tried it, just to see
I confess feeling... disgrace-d

Drinks didn't...

I drink until I drop
While he cheats and get a drop (drop- STI)
Where bottles are emptied I am found 
Find him where condoms are filled
And zipped are undone
I drink, flirt and blackout
While he bumps, grind and passout

Weekends I watch football
While he figures out
as to whom...

"Table for one sir?..."
 
Here I am
A little bit older
A little bit wiser
I've been tested
 
Pushed to the limit to the brink
of insanity where I dip my “I” when I think
(my mind thinks even more when I sleep
 never letting a plausible concept deteriorate in...

There was a boy who liked to drink beer
He'd been more naughty than nice all year
   Abrupt low of energy 
   Caused by sudden allergy 
Will make for a sober Christmas cheer
