Learning To Walk Poem by Carsten Thomsen

Angry liver
Blackout dark nights
and brooding aching mind
no more

This is a new beginning
of better brighter days
and a head full of dreams

Me realizing
that friendships
and love is fleeting
and that but a few people
in life
say what they mean or
mean what they say

This is a new beginning

I've reached
rock bottom
Vomiting words
On hands and knees

But like all children
you learn to walk
not by staying down
when you
fall but by
getting up again
and give it all
another try
