I decided to write every day.
I don’t know what I will say.
I hope that my words find a way
Out and onto the page.
Anyway, I have to go to AA
Now where I will chair.
I don’t know why I’m there.
Believe me when I tell y’all
I wasn’t downed by Alcohol.
I didn’t hang out with thugs,
But I was an addict of drugs:
The prescription kind stole my mind
And no sliver of peace could find
Its way to my nerves, so my
Way with words succumbed
To my need to pill myself numb.
Now sober, I’m off to my meeting
Where I can’t discuss the defeating
Obsession of which you are reading.
