The walk of the boozer, the thoughts of the lush
The drinker lost in the swirl of liquid amnesia
Forever without hope, for always without solace
From the torment placed on self
The emptiness, the hole so deep and lightless
The sickness of soul, the numbing of mind
The veil of deception, so thin, so heavy
Mask torn from the eyes, see the darkness
Fill it with light and promises of hope
Full promises, not empty
Not alone, no despair, sanity
Freedom from addiction, peace of mind
Peace of heart and soul, found in support
From one to another, no need to suffer
Linked hands, linked hearts, unity in sobriety
-Lin Giles 2010
