Christine Poem by Donna Saphier

I'm Fifty Two and feel real old
My life is just a mess
Constant memories in my head
That make me just feel stressed

But I am trying very hard
To get my life on track
And I am also frightened
Of the drink that I will lack

Drink helps me numb out all my pain
It helps me to forget
But drink also made me do things
Some things I do regret

I thought I would attend some groups
And myself I'd hopefully find
But things still carry on and hurt
I'm going out of my mind

Detox is around the corner
And I just cannot wait
To get in there and do my time
Forget my Stella crate

Drink has ruined all my life
Things just fell apart
But this is my beginning
For me a brand new start

The life that I have gone through
The things that I have seen
Please remember after all
I'm just a human being.
