Heart hurts
Battles to fight
Alcohol won’t make it all alright
Better to be alert than hide
Brave the ride
Be awake and fight
Pep talk for myself time again
Hard times?
Sometimes life not fine?
Yes that’s occasionally reality
Unfortunately
But,
Having clearer vision from
No alcohol to muddy the waters
Or destroy our dreams,
Could definitely lead to happier scenes
For us, our family, our son’s or daughters
So we’re no longer wishing so often for Contentment
Or dealing with the fallout from
Concealed resentment
By taking off the blurry alcohol glasses
Swapping them for a newer more suitable prescription
One that matches how we want to live
Closer to our ideal description
And what we want to give
You know, I’m starting to learn that we can really better see
Alcohol free
Without thoughts of booze in our way
Taking up space in our brain
That’s really energy down the drain
It’s suddenly possible to think of problems and say
“I think I might have found a fix!”
Without listening to the wine witch’s tricks
That in the cold light of day
You would find
She played with your mind
Her solutions were flawed anyway
Alcohol free you’d be seeing more clearly
Solutions to problems would appear more freely
With less agitation
And more concentration
You could assess any situation
Now that is a quality I want and value
The Wine witch can keep her mind numbing wine
I’ll be just fine
What about you?
