Letter From an Addict

Stephanie Boyd 1979 (Blytheville,Ar)



On sober days, I think.
On sober days, I regret.
On sober days, I cry for the pain I've caused.
Also for the loved ones and friends I've lost.

On sober days, I remember.
On sober days, I regret.
On sober days, I pray for the others I've met.

On high days, I forget.
On high days, I don't think.
On high days, I don't feel because
On high days, nothing is real.

On high days, I pray for sober days,

On everyday, I pray!
