The edge, it's steepening
This toxicity within
Taking over
Drop a K without thought.
Idiot.
Bully myself
But, I've heard it all before
I can handle my own abuse.
Action has to be taken
Idle hands are the devils plaything thing
I am alone too often.
Seeking self control
As I can see
The bottom of this hole
From where I am now.
Let it go
It all must cease
Do I have the strength?
We'll see.
No more compromise
No more self taught lies
They all know
It's the poison I decide.
This terrible habit
I've had for decades
Now an addiction
I cannot shake.
I cannot win
Without losing
I must decide
To live a life.
My beautiful wife
She sits with me
We share the losses
We share the wins.
I hope she understands
I have to walk away
From this poison
Forever.
There is no moderation
This must be finite
Please let me find the strength
To win.
