Sobriety

It's so hard to stay sober
And to not get high.
When everything goes left,
Instead of right.
The urge to escape drowns you.
Pushing all other thoughts
From your mind
Until your need is fulfilled.
Craving that liquid fire
Is a demon that will always win
As is the feigning for the sensation
Of little white pills sliding
Down your throat.
It's only a matter of time
Before you're floating
In space.
On cloud nine.
