I Choose to Be Stronger Than the Booze

Your power over me is at an end.

I’ve had enough of your sh*t,

and the shame you’ve given me.

It’s time to quit.

.

We had an understanding relationship,

but I’ve opened my eyes.

You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and

I’ve had enough of your lies.

.

“You’ll be back again;

You always do.

You’ll miss me.

This, you won’t see through.”

.

“Not this time,” I say.

My heath declined at steady pace,

so did relationships and my confidence.

Sobriety is what I want to embrace.

.

You did what I asked:

Help me feel numb.

However, Monday morning

I woke up foolish and dumb.

.

Throwing away my wine,

you wanted to stay, despite the banter.

I’m ignoring your temptations,

and even tossing the decanter.

.

You’re dead to me.

I’m waving at you,

finally bidding

adeiu.

.
