Oh! dear self what has gotten into you?

I look in the mirror and there is nowhere to find you.

Oh! innocent one, has the Devil got to you?

I ask myself, has a spirit, perhaps, possessed you?

I thought I was the ONE to make life decisions,

Now it seems that we are TWO.

My heart longs for church but, I only end up in the clubs.

My body is inhabited by an entity that makes me live in the pubs.

My reputation is tarnished, and my alcoholism is public.

I see my peers flourish. And me? Grandpa’s medicine is all that I need.

They say that alcohol numbs the pain. Tell me, without pain what do you gain?

I swear I can now hear the Angels calling my name.

They say, “all it takes is for you to be brave”.

That’s when I prayed to God that, this be the day,

I made a lifetime decision to never touch a bottle ever again.
