And Toots I would fear a contest.
For I know deep inside you're the best
at writing these things.
I'm good, but yours sings!
I am glad there will not be a test.

But in writing these poems I am free.
It is the best kind of therapy.
And SR does rock it!
Its nice to my pocket.
I'm glad these threads dont charge a fee!

I'm here, it is true, I confess
and shouting is what I used to do best
I used to write pages and pages of rhyme
every page tainted by liquor and wine
writing sober is a bit of a test

speaking of pouting and tears
that's how I wrote things for years
I drank, wrote and cried
but now that woman's died
I'm no longer living my life chased by fears

Im afraid i am not at my best
for today got it all of my chest
opened up to my man
upended the can
he held me close to his breast

tears have been falling like rain
i apologised again and again
but i gave him my vow
its for ever not just now
i felt sad to see him in such pain

This child was so sad
She was hurt really bad
Became an angry, lonely woman
From the past hurt, she ran
Still sometimes sad, not always mad

This girl I would hold tight to me
Of her pain I would have her be free
I would love her as meant
Solace my intent
And real joy this child would see

No child of my own could I bear,
Yet had a heart full of love here to share
If you had been mine
You would have grown in sunshine
And live in a world filled with care

Feeling tired and weepy today
After spilling my guts yesterday
But I am oh so relieved
The way words were received
From now on I move only one way

We pour our hearts out in rhyme
And know what will heal us is time
Time, and sobriety
In a drinking society
It is tough but we will ALL be fine

Freezing but feeling alive,
as begin to wake up on day five
I'm feeling much calmer
But wish I was warmer
But coffee at least will revive!

Didn't sleep well last night
What is the cause of my plight
Awake at three
Wishing insomnia would flee
Lack of sleep really does bite

Bloss I so relate to you
Healing from childhood sadness too
And anger at alcoholic parents
who unknowingly caused deep torrents
That I only now can sort through

Bloss:
I didnt sleep last night as well
I got through today as just a shell.
A zombie I was.
But not from a buzz.
Because that'd be a living hell.

Alcohol caused me shame
But I was the only one to blame
Nobody put the bottle in my hand
Sometimes I’d drink until I couldn’t stand
Denial is losing game

Pacing these floors,
looking for the open door.
Putting one foot in front of the other.
Hoping, praying I don’t smother.
Wishing I knew I have more.

I remember in early sobriety
something a woman told me
she simply said "I was a gift"
I thought she must have drank a fifth
it took a while for me to see

It's time that I was excercising
This morning they are comprising
Of throwing more punches
Than you've had hot lunches
It helps with my exorsising!!

Babes born to sorrow and pain
Loving mothers wait empty armed in vane,
If wishes came true
The lives of these two
Would be loving and both would stay sane

I wonder what god out there
Would cause us such sorrows to bear,
We did nothing wrong,
But our backs are strong,
And at least here, we know we can share

Karilyn you ARE a gift!
We ALL are, if our minds shift.
If we undo our wrappings,
and lose alcohol's trappings,
The whole of ourselves, will soon lift.

We're gifts to ourselves, and each other.
We can't keep this fact undercover.
Our light is still there.
With each gift we share,
We pass light from one, to another!

The A.V is furtive and mean
so keep it in close quarantine
Else it will take you to the slums
And you'll become disorderly, drunk and obscene.

On a day off, oh, way back when
(OK, last year) I'd be drinking by ten.
But I just made the bed
And enjoyed it, instead!
Sober chores, it's a whole new invention!

Exhausted, there are better days waiting.
No cliche, I am just simply stating:
Lean on us, we are here.
No more wine, scotch or beer,
And your cravings will soon be abating.
