Sober Writing
Hands trembling
I write out my scattered thoughts
like illusive ghosts
there one minute then as if a shadow
seen on my periphery
slip sideways through the cracks
sober and standing on shakey feet
I feel the ground swaying beneath me
grasping at what remains of my sanity
I fight for my freedom
screaming on the inside
afraid as paniac attacks
cloy and cling
a dying demon
who won't go easy into it's grave
riding out the storm
surfing the waves of unease
no more rivers of wine and whiskey to drown in
as I cough up the last of the drink
I take a big breath of reality and sigh in relief

I fight for my freedom
screaming on the inside
afraid as paniac attacks
cloy and cling
a dying demon
who won't go easy into it's grave
riding out the storm
surfing the waves of unease
no more rivers of wine and whiskey to drown in
as I cough up the last of the drink
I take a big breath of reality and sigh in relief

Graphic imagery, takes me somewhere else.

I enjoyed this.

Some demons refuse to die, their claws firmly entrenched within my soul. The crutch they offer me, a double edged sword. Great read.
