Water,
cleanse my body.
Make me feel alive again.
Clear the stupor.
Clear the spinning.
Clear my body of all its sinning.
Forgive my choices
and clear these voices
and noises that lie inside my head.
Calm the waves of intoxication.
Clear my mind of inebriation.
Help me through a transformation
back to sanity,
back to sobriety.
So I may never want to drink again.
