No Longer Poem by Travis Lepine

My ears are no longer perverse and my eyes can discern the day;
The lights that surface in the sky have cleansed my fiend away.
No longer do I conjure up a vile scheme to drink
The poison that defiled my blood and obsessive thoughts to think.
Today, I no longer abide by ruthless commandments
Written by the claw of darkness and shackled me in discontent.
No longer shall I embody lies for truth is my newfound friend
The pain of forgotten mornings have met their bitter end.
I praise an inner strength within that relinquished me of guilt
So now my present, wounded soul can humbly be rebuilt.
