Sobriety?

losing sight and losing hope

trying not to turn to dope

to numb my mind and quell my heart

but all I do is stop then start

over the cycle of hurt and pain and fear

and then slowly I start to veer

towards the things I've come to trust

the things for which my mind does lust

anything to numb this cycle of pain

trying to stop this all in vein

wondering if I've gone too far

pondering the consequences of this body I mar

the urge to pull away and run and hide

to turn my back, not try to confide

in people who would help me fight

the need for substances to stop this fright
