Two Years Ago Today

Two years ago today
I threw them away
it was really easier
than most people say
just a simple decision
then a little action
I found myself free
from a very bad addiction

I feel so much better
having a new direction
not stuck in the middle
feeling oh so little
to be a slave to anything
is really bad enough
but something that is that small
how can it be so tough

I see my friends and wife too
sucking in the fumes
filling them with poisons
killing them too soon
I know that freewill
is what we have
to make our lives complete
but the freewill that's giving way
to enslavement isn't right

The money oh the money
wasted just to make
yourself a little sicker
than you were yesterday
watching you wrinkle up
slowly fading away
standing outside freezing
just so you can sate
the demon that has you in it's grip
is not that big I say
I defeated that lowly imp
two years ago today.
