a look back

15 years since i last had a drink, take a quick look back

and remember what it was like

-like living in a nightmare and couldn’t wake up

-boarding a train that had no engine

-pretending you are someone else, only to find you had become that person

-relationships as stable as a coke cap in a tsunami

-realizing that you weren’t able to be compassionate or sincere and not caring

a shadow of the man i once was, getting closer to the light everyday

grateful i no longer have to live that and grateful others took time to show

me the way
