Why so much anger?
What are you running from?
Like a scared child
hiding from the bogeyman.

What makes a grown man cling
to something that destroys?
What was once a “let loose escape”
has become a full blown addiction.

By clinging so tightly to that bottle
it must feel as if that bottle’s clinging to you.
But one day, when you learn to let go,
you’ll find it lets go too.

That bottled fiend you call
your bottled friend, a mirrored escape
from your bottled emotions
to whom you turn your back.

If you’d deal with the highs and lows
in a sober state of mind, you’d realize
emotions are your friends, a tool
guiding you back to the path of life.

Running from the truth won’t save you,
you must be willing to step into the light,
expose your vulnerabilities,
trek through, to the other side.

This is
overcoming.
