Blessing in disguise

Going down a downward spiral  
I didn't know how I got in such a master of self destructure  
It took me by surprise  
why didn't I listen to all the signs  
It all started with a little wine and dine  
good times around the holiday time  
The night was ready for a closure  
Driving with a flat tire exposure  
The bright red lights flashing behind me  
Oh no, the cop wants me to pull over  
my heart is pounding  
my body shaking  
tears flowing down my cheeks  
she approaches my car  
flashlight beaming in my face  
Have you had anything to drink tonight  
I gulped; yes with the sadness in my eyes  
It was now time to pay and due the time  
jail was a long dark hole  
finally they got the money for bail  
Today is my light at the end of that long fall  
No drinks for me..not one  
I decided to change my life  
On to new beginnings  
This year will be a wonderful season greetings.
