Telling Truth

I choose sober truths every day  

Embracing alcohol as whispered dangerous myth  

I confess profound pain without intoxication  

Drunk pretenses decay inside desperate shadows  

Sober, I honor my frail being  

A fragile heart seeks honest respite  

Addiction labels haunt yet empower me  

I mourn illusions of numb clarity  

Sincerity anchors deeper than shimmering dregs  

Honesty fights fervently against drunken denial  

My spirit trembles without liquid lies  

I bathe in precious raw truth  

Each sober step rebuilds shattered foundations  

Yearning compels me beyond self-deception boundaries  

I claim power over painful admission  

Life demands harsh honesty constant grace
