Not today

I dont have a problem and anytime I can quit
Don't say I'm an addict
I don't see a problem and one good day I will lay off it
Don't categorize me as an addict
I won't acknowledge an issue because I don't need no one judging my soul
And having sobriety is not a priority right now, its not a long-term goal
Don't call me an addict
I know I am more than able to quit
Don't tell me my soul needs serious recovery
This is my life that's no discovery
If I had a good reason to give
I only have this one life I am pushing harder every day to live
Don't sit here and try to convince me I am an addict
I stumble every chance because I want to
I crumble in hard times because I don't know what els to do
Don't write me off as another addict, another statistic
This isn't the life I choose, it chose me
Can't you see...no matter what you or anyone else has to say
I know I am capable of quiting, just not today

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
