I’ve learned; sober
I’ve never thought about it before
But I can’t handle the poison
The delusions it caused
Allowed me to fall
For tricks and schemes
Because it made me weak
It made me cry
And want to die
It made me see
I’m not like them
Those who forfeit
To a substance
Those who surrender to the pain
Can’t just let it happen
One day at a time
So I will prevail
I will never fail
Saying goodbye is easy
I’ve seen it destroy
But not me
Or my body
I will not allow it
A substance to control me
I’ve awoke from yet another slumber
And I’m never going back
I will surrender my crutch
My cure for anxiety
No longer exists
It’s fake at its core
And I don’t want it no more
I want my freedom
And breath of fresh air
I will never look to you
To save me
Only me.
