Sobriety
Desire within me rages like a beast
The aches and chills upon me feast
I am wanton lust a feral child
The lust for drink that drives me wild
Does not abate not in the least
You are told in the recovery room
To anticipate impending doom
And yes the trials within a week
Hunt out the meek the sick the weak
Like vultures up on high do loom
Withdrawal from demon alcohol
Which leaves you like a ragged doll
Must be endured for one’s own sake
Although your bones do shake and ache
And from your mouth your tongue does loll
Eventually peace does return
A state you know you have to earn
The pain the angst the shame you see
Is just the cost the finder’s fee
A lesson you will surely learn
The benefit is peace of mind
An outlook sunny good and kind
Unheard of only months ago
When evil booze I did forego
Yet purity I’ve yet to find
