Drinking is like being in a spin,
round and round you go. Thinking your
getting by though, you can't see out,
and you can't see within. It's so much
darker when you can't find the light,
and the soul feels so lost inside.
Destruction brings cries, and death to
lives. But sobriety brings, God's gift
of life, family, love, and a new sunrise.
Hi Becca, Very poignant poem. Drinking, for that matter taking to any type of intoxication, is running away from the present, from the questions posed by life. It is as if we close our eyes and declare it is dark everywhere. We have to just open our eyes to the light, His Gift, to love life, to love ourselves, to love others. Wonderful write. Thank you Becca.
