Drowning

Something wasn\'t sitting right,

I was unsure of what to do.

I seemed to have the life I wanted

yet something was askew.

 

Drinking myself into oblivion

just to escape the pain.

Creating a series of disasters

that I had only myself to blame.

 

Yet I didn\'t want to stop

because that would be no fun.

I was addressing all my problems,

all except the biggest one.

 

Excitement for an evening;

all my problems were away

until it got to late o\'clock

and I had to face the next day.

 

Crippled with fear and

post inebriated anxiety, for one!

As I struggled to come to terms

with things I didn\'t remember I had done.

 

Myths rang through my ears;

Thoughts I still struggle to arrange:

Old habits die hard

and that

People never change.

 

Trusting my gut instinct,

realising what needed to be done...

I said goodbye to my old life

to build myself a new one.
