Hallucinating

this was wrote while detoxing from alcohol and drugs

Sobering up I feel this unrest

as i`m lying in bed pain is shooting my chest.

No longer can I hide my cup runneth over

the last beer I drank I was no Casanova.

Just the man in the bedroom soaked with piss

a brain dead loser with his head in the abyss.

Why did my ego tell me I was such a great guy

when i`m tripping over bottles wishing I would die.

I sucked the hell out of life without a breath to spare

when I wake up there's 14 years to repair.

Lord give me the strength to end this mighty curse

to walk in your kingdom and sing a holy verse.

Shield me now and take my hand in a warm embrace

as my fear leaves me now I believe in your everlasting grace.

Please hath mercy on my soul ole lord

This one touches me. I met that demon and he had me for years. You capture it most eloquently. Beautiful.

Our flaws and struggles are what make us perfectly human,
and even though we may not see it within ourselves,
they are beautiful.
A lovely and honest piece.

thanks I'm touched it takes a special person sometimes to see beauty in such things. I love when people can relate to me it doesn't happen so much these days
