The fear evaporated I became articulate, apparently very, very funny. A BMW Master Tech, making money. The altitude and latitude of youth made me feel free.
I drank & then became drunk. Now at Tarzana Treatment, in a top bunk.
Departure: self-help books still I could not refrain. Arrival: psychiatric help I couldn’t abstain.
What once felt like comfort turned turbulent, then insane.
I tried to diagnose what I could not escape. Alcohol always there, waiting to ******, wearing its cape.
Until I boarded Flight A.A., buckled up bought a one way to soberly fly away.
