We Drink to Be Free
We Drink to Be Wild
To break down the protective barrier
To open our bodies and hearts and minds
To connect with friends
To connect with family
To connect with ourselves
But drinking enslaves us
Those of us who do it with a singular passion
Those of us who become addicted
Slowly bit by bit
Year by year it wears us down
It becomes a ball and chain that we drag behind us
Our voices are dulled by shame and doubt and insecurity
But it doesn’t have to be that way
You can cut that chain
It’s never too late
Your fire may be soft and warm or it may be a raging inferno
but it can only grow if you stop wasting energy
on the drink/drunk/regret routine
Pour enough alcohol on that baby and it’ll flash up in a fury then die quickly
Sober I AM a steady glow
a stable flame
and sometimes a raging inferno of creative energy
but I am NEVER extinguished
Today I will not drink.
