take it how you want it

sobriety.

Sobriety is never easy

For all addictions it's hard, mine isn't one you can see

Maybe you can see signs but over the years I've learned how to mask it

I've learned to dance on the thin line between living and dying so many times and yet I still live

I live, I hurt, I smile, I cry, and I feel it all

Today I almost lost my sobriety but I only say this to you so you know I finally found it

 The beauty in life everyone talks about

I always thought it was never real and that was something they tell people with a mental illness

 But I finally found it

 It's so funny you find it in the little things and they add up

I saw two people so in love today. Their hands were stuck together like glue

 They were smiling, and laughing, and he spun her around just to catch her and tell her he loved her

 I saw a puppy on college green basking in the belly rubs from students all around

I saw a girl spill her coffee and not only did someone help her clean it up but also bought her a new coffee

I saw the cherry blossoms in full bloom, even though it was so cold and raining a couple of days ago they bloomed anyway

 It may sound odd but I saw myself in that tree

 Even though I'm not there yet I know I'll bloom someday
