Sobriety

It’s been so long
My mind relapses
Bringing up the memories
I feel trapped inside myself
Begging for the feeling

The simple joys are lost
All the adventures gone
I’m restless and in pain
I feel so numb and alone
Buried in nothingness

Drugs destroy your life
So I’ve been told
But it was needed escape
I lived my dreams happily
No cares or worries, just high

I quit because I was told to
Not because I wanted to
So now I sit realizing
Life can never compare
It will never live up to the high
