She tried to battle that hunger for a drink,
She swam, she floated, but started to sink.
She resented herself for giving in,
It’s a battle she knew she’d never win.
But how do you keep away what’s meant to be,
When your future is blurred, and the path unseen -
She gave in and took a sip,
She couldn’t pry the bottle from her lips
Liquid poison coursing through her veins,
Giving her ease, but her family pain.
Addicted to the taste of ease,
She lets her sobriety drift into the breeze.
