Poem I wrote

Hi guys, Here's a poem I wrote today. I hope you enjoy. Don't worry I don't feel like this today. Just practicing my writing.

Barb


Some days really suck being sober.
I wish I could drink again.
Some days life really sucks. But we have to go on.
I wish I didn’t have responsibilities. But we all have and do.

Some days really suck being sober.
I wish I could drink again.
I wish some days that I could be a kid again. But then again I don’t.
Some days I get really tired. But I know I have to keep moving.

Some days really suck being sober.
I wish I could drink again.
I hate being a grown up and having to do things for myself.
I hate having to take care of myself. But if I don’t who will?

Some days really suck being sober.
And I don’t want to drink again.
Life will get better. I just have to have faith.

Some days really suck being sober.
But it’s still better then drunk. Things will get better.
Have patience. It works.

I liked it Barb! Every day in sobriety ain't perfect, but it sure beats drinking again!

By the 4th stanza, "I wish I could drink again" becomes "And I don't want to drink again", so your poem comes to a good conclusion! Those are the same things I say to myself almost every day. Barb, I feel the day will come when the thought of drinking again doesn't enter our minds, & we won't wish for those old days. Thank you for sharing your poem with us! Write more!
