Unrecognizable, a strangers face becoming so unclear to me I hear the clinking of glass in your desire to be free the sounds of freedom still knock at your door yet, you turn it away always seeking more while sinking lower into the swell until you are drowning in your self made well. The rim of your glass is salted with tears just one more shot with a chaser of fear while running away alone, in your mind screaming out questions, no answers you’ll find bottled in burdens, stumbling through the darkness you crawl; You’re losing yourself within your night falls... {Don't get you high on the bottle just drink a sip now and then fight your fights, find your grace, change the things that you can change, help somebody if you can and get right with the man...{van zandt} [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (08-30-2005 11:55 AM).] |

Very dark and moody, yet still beautiful in it's own way. Great write. Tomorrow comes for those who fear it. |

What an accurate picture of alcoholism! I wanted to cry when I read this piece because it so vividly describes the sad downward spiraling so well. Thank you for sharing this. Rae |
