I am told to take this one day at a time.
I cannot tell you how many times I have head that saying.
One day at a time,
One day at a time,
One day at a time.
It repeats over and over again in my mind.
One day at a time.
One day at a time
Yet, in my reality, it is
every seven minutes
then every ten minutes.
Every seven minutes, for m, feels like three hours,
during those seven minutes, i crave,
I crave to be drunk
I crave to be so high, I cannot tell left from right
I crave to smile like a child,
I crave to laugh like there is no tomorrow
I crave to feel confident
I crave to make these shakes disappear for awhile.
Then every ten minute I feel normal.
I don't feel so outlandish for not drinking a beer.
I don't miss the taste of a cigarette,
after swallowing a shot or two.
I don't yearn for a drunken lullaby,
As time passes by.
Every seven then ten minutes
I'm switching opposite sides
Back and forth
inside my deranged mind
handling it the best I can
One day at a time
