On the Wagon (For Now)

Folder: 
Lessons Learned

Four days sober now

But I have a growing suspicion

That I will fall off the wagon soon.



So now all I can do

Is count down the days, the hours,  

Until I fall down to lust all over again.



I even heard a rumor

That there was a bet going among those

Who think I won’t make it much longer.



I try to defy the odds

Because I do not want to be made a fool

And I cannot stumble at Addiction’s feet.  



Undoubtedly this toxin

Will continue to consume my thoughts

Until another craving overpowers me.
