Soothing the Pain

What if we want to say
Just for today
It’s too much
All the stuff
It’s too tough
The current
The past

Why do the tears continue to fall,
the pain have to last
I’ve felt it all
Why can’t we just get through it fast?
Caught in the net
Of so many regrets
It just hurts
Scared of making things worse

The alcohol voice
now sees a chance
to “soothe”
To make it’s move
Oh just f@#k off wine
Stop your lying
I can see you’re trying
You won’t make things fine
I know
if I choose booze
I’ll surely lose
You’re just wasting your time
And mine
I won’t change my mind
It’s set
What part of that don’t you get?

If water is like our mind
Do you find
When alcohol
causes the water to be agitated
It becomes difficult to see?
I get upset and frustrated
But if we allow it to settle
The answer becomes clear
For my problems I know
More solutions come near

So really AF wine for me is fine
It won’t mess with my mind
And with less agitation
Comes less frustration
When solutions are near
I feel more in control
And there’s much less fear
