SOBRIETY ENIGMA
Icy thoughts
Ethereal frostbite
Severely wasted time
Liquid suicide
Insensitive death waltz
My feeble choice of departure
One poisonous ounce at a time
Transcendental zombie
Self centered guru
Misinformed advice
Front row seat to my own annihilation
The ultimate senseless excursion
Horrific withdrawal showdown
Rightful utter torture
Point of no return
As the demons choked my spirit
Blistering heat of 10,000 suns
My being set aflame
Desperate prayers from this dead sojourner
Answered as they always are
The end
Merely a new beginning
Fresh revitalizing force
Sobriety enigma
Not so infeasible after all
Purging transfusion
Flawless sacred blood
Majestic baby steps
My palsied hands
Clinging tightly to His radiant robe
Miraculous blessings indeed
Triumphant escape from hell
No need for logics debate
Some things in life are beyond my grasp
Alive to share this with you
Precious childhood I retain
In humble gratitude
