Not much to say today- Day 4 doing well. I thought I’d write a little poem instead. Not Shakespeare, granted, but at least it’s mine.
Bye Bye Booze
I drank like a fish as my life flashed by
I sang and I danced while the wine it flowed
Many a good time was had I am sure
And several good pounds to friends are still owed
As years rolled by the good times they did change
Now clutching my guts with a throbbing head
My ex friend the drink he deceived me well
To leave me alone sweating fear in my bed
It’s time now to leave, to show him the door
My watery companion, pretence seen through
There’s a life to live, emotions to feel
His time I’ve cut short, nothing promised came true
