Despair
 my life was swallowed by fears and regrets of unspoken words and unpaid debts when others lept I had to wait I stood at the threshold and paused at the gate My friends and family forced my hand they took my bottle and made their demands I stood on the edge and refused to see the terrible wages of my sins and eternity My women have left and my children are grown and yet I wander this earth in search of a home then suddenly one day, as I lost all control I asked for help for my tired body and my soul In the mirror that I refused to stand before was the image of a man I could not ignore. So I gathered my courage and pulled him up by his belt and forced him to play the cards that he had himself dealt. from the edge I saw the possible pathes I could have taken and in my resolve I made a choice and I was unshaken two years now, I have had time to live and love and think. and I am grateful for the fact that someone else took my drink for the friend I saw in the mirror and in the broken glass was myself and no other, I had ignored in the past.
