Hello Week One,
I am here to tell you I am not the weak one
Seven days straight temptation and urges
And I have yet to drink one
My mind is clear
Sobriety somehow has its fun
I can't pretend we didn't have it up when we had our little run
I'm not saying farewell, but you were hurting me more than I was hurting you
I didn't see it, but my body told me abruptly what you clearly came to do
At first, I just used as a way to feel good,
Then a way to stay away
Then I used you to be lazy
And often you became an excuse for me everyday
You never talked back
but when I had you I talked so much
You made me brave and in a way, you made me not give a ****
An imaginary friend that don't even talk back
but you know that you have
What's crazy is you're something of substance
and something I can grab
And maybe that's what made it easier
How available I made you to myself
But no one knew the harm I put me through
Cause I don't listen to no one else
It's amazing what facts will change
How you play rush and roulette with your life
like some sort of game
But baby I am sorry I can't take that last shot
Cause in reality I have only one life to life
And this is the only one I got
Sober for a year now. Drinking hadn't really been an issue, but it served no purpose. I misused it so I dismissed it totally.
