Day One

The night descends upon a darkened heart
broken and shattered like a mirror
beaten with a bloodied fist
 
the soul within this body withers
being blown about as if it were mere ashes
without a backbone or any substance
 
each day I say today is day one
I won't pick up the bottle on this day
fail, fail, fail I haven't made it yet
 
I would cry but no tears are allowed to flow
write but my emotions are pent up
create if I gave a damn about my passions
 
i'm a blank page now
void of color a whisp of my former self
I used to paint and write with vigor
 
now I swill booze and get lost in delirium
what happened to me I ask myself
fear at the core of things
 
I wonder when did I become so afraid
being a fierce warrior once upon a time
the fighter in me looks upon the sad state of things with disdain
 
Today I failed will tommorow be day one?
 
Please I pray to the powers that be I succeed
down this rocky high road
the key to my soul's salvation
