Sobriety

One day sober, a victory's birth, A triumph of will, a choice unearth. A step towards freedom, a vow of hope, Each moment a testament to strength cope. One month sober, a silent prayer, Embracing life's clarity without a care. No substance to dim the mind's gleam, A victory's gleam, bright and beam. One year sober, a testament's might, A triumph over addiction in its plight. The path of resilience, strength of will, A testament to Triumph of will, A testament to strength Fire within, that keeps us on. A year to reflect, A battle's won, Life's purpose to discover. A journey of hope, The light in sight, The struggle of life's darkest night. Four years sober, A silent grace, A victory's mark, a triumph's face. Four years sober, Life on the rise, Embracing sobriety, wise. A testament to life, Each breath is dear, Life's gift, its beauty clear. Five years later, the bottle hanging from your hand, The victory undone, the darkness, oh so grand. A slip, a fall, the light, it dims, The battle fought, but with the darkness swims. The struggle for sobriety, all in vain, In the abyss, the journey's end, again and again.
