    -Myself--

    Jesus is my drinking buddy on this cold, dark night.
    Loneliness, loss and hurt creep through my veins;
    Mixing with the liquor, together they sedate me.


    I drink until I can no longer see straight.
    I'm not sure where I want to go, I just know I need to get there.
    I can hardly hold my head up, but I force myself to trek on.


    I walk until I have no idea where I am or how to get back to the nowhere I came from.
    I'm looking for someone that no one can seem to find.
    Its someone no one seems to remember anymore but me.

    I scream out to her, but she doesn't respond.
    I tilt my head back and take another swig...
    In my drunken blur I see her; Shes staring at me.


    I walk towards what I swear I saw and trip right over what Ive been looking for...

    Me.

    Ive found myself; In a drunken state of hell I have found my better self;
    Sitting there patiently waiting for me to sober up.
    The loving, caring and devoted me for whom I was once known for.


    My sobriety comes back to me and after a huge gulp of reality I know its time...
    Time for me to go home;
    Back to my roots, and start a fresh new life.

    This one hits the reader in the gut about 2/3 of the way through when you reveal the person you were looking for wasn't (as expected) some kind of "savior", but is YOU. That's a great realization about who's really in charge!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
