I am trying to power through
Some headache and nausea too.
But hopefully
this peppermint tea
will be the perfect brew.
On top of that my thinking
Has lately turned to drinking.
Loneliness and pain
Would be AVs gain
But I know its lies are stinking!
Sometimes I feel deranged.
So much I have to change.
Facing my truth
Without vodka soothe
Can still feel kind of strange.
But more strength I must find.
And perhaps some stronger spine.
When I self pity
It is not pretty.
I must be true to thine.
So I will sip my tea.
And read some poetry.
And say a prayer
To do my share
Then God will set me free.
