Do I know
Where I am going
To be in my future?
Because I am dying
To know about
My future life
Because I want to be
Living in peace
All my life
I never had found
Peace
I had seek for peace
Everywhere I walked
Here on earth
Do I know
Where I am going through
Because all the doors
I found it was closed
For me
I am having bad luck
Father
Father I need a place
To live during the Winter
Also father
I don't have a home
Anymore
I have lost it
When I became
An alcoholic
I also had no choice
But being a homeless
I drink alcohol
Like a fish
And I am not
Proud of myself
Yes I am slowly
Damaging my liver
Also during the day
I beg for money
I never get anymore
Then $ 20.00
I buy myself some doughnuts
From Tim Horton's
And some cups of coffees
There outside still good
People around
That will give money
To me
Today there was
Somebody from all walks
Of life
And he was very nice
To me
He pulled out from his
Wallet a $ 50.00 bill
To give to me
I told him thanks
Yesterday at Tim Horton's
I spend some $ 15.00 dollars
On doughnuts and coffee
I still have from yesterday
$ 5.OO dollars
Today I finally have
$55.00 dollars
I went to the LCBO
And bought me
A bottle of wine
My favorite Canadian wine
It cost me only $ 20.00 dollars
I had left only $ 30.00 dollars
Now the Summer was ending
And I was feeling the cold
That was killing me softly
I was feeling
All the cold
Through my body
Finally a good citizen
Of America took
Me to a man's shelter
There in the shelter
They had feed me
Every day tree meals
I also had drunk my wine
With my meal
Now I am drunk
Somebody told me
It is sad to see you killing
Yourself slowly every single day
After 3 years I decided to quit
Drinking own my own
I had gone to the
Meetings at
Alcoholic anonymous
And I had a sponsor
Yes it was very hard for me
To avoid drinking
After 6 years
I Became sober
And I never drunk again
I was happy that I finally
Made trough the program
That helped me quit drinking
Today I am also proud
That I don't drink anymore
For 16 years now
And I just don't miss drinking
