Battle after battle
Remembering everything
Yet moving forward
The bottles
That I couldn’t
Quit fast enough
The devil almost killed me
A past that will
Never define my whole story
Was never truly me
Only a disguise
I finally took off
The sun
Almost went down
And never came back up
As I struggled to breathe
Keep myself afloat
Looking back
Has become aggravating
As the darkness
Found another place to roam
Other then the hallways in my head
I got sober
I long for much more these days
Battered and bruised
I’ve bled enough
I no longer crave the self medication
That I thought was my way outta here
The poison that numbed me
For a almost a lifetime
Each bottle told a story
All its own
A sad tale of the longest
Lonely days and nights
Of my life
Thee attempt to annihilate my soul
And crush my spirit forever
Was defeated head on
Yet I’m here today standing taller
And prouder then ever
While everyone else thought I
Was a goner for sure
But he had other plans in
Store for me
