I’ve learned; goodbye
I can’t help but think
I’ve made it this far
You came and went
And eventually
Fizzled out
I never want to see you
Smell you
Or swallow you again
I’ve had enough
And it’s time to say goodbye
Why I started
I’ll never know
Only to show
And experiment
In my family’s behalf
How I loved them so much
I tried it myself
I never want to think about you
I never want to purchase you
I want to leave you
By yourself
Like you left me
So goodbye alcohol
Goodbye to our lonely nights
Our busting of boundaries
My sense of adventure
Led me to anxiety instead
How I watched others
Devour you
While they lost everything
Including their minds
How I don’t want to be like that
Oh how I want to break the cycle
And oh how I will
Now is the time
To never think twice
No means no
And I’m through with you
And all you put me through
Goodbye to the escapes
Goodbye to the pain
How I despised you
Growing up
How I poured it down the sink
To save others
Now it’s time to save myself
From destruction
For I am a creator
Riding myself of all destruction
To myself and others
It was never under control
Only less real
Reality is I can’t drink
Reality is I hate alcohol
So I’m staying true to myself
And saying goodbye forever
You may have taken my dad
But you won’t take me
I am too valuable
And have my life ahead of me
Much too good of a person
To sell out to you!
Good riddance
