Sober Life Poem - First Step: Honesty

First Step
Honesty
By D. Connolly


An empty heart filled by an empty bottle
A constant struggle as I continue to unravel


Some consternation from my perceived iniquity
Consequences of indulgence in obsessive quantity


Perseverance to live another day – 
Has abruptly faded away
I admit  life is an aberration to me –
Which relieves my dismay


Seeking out of the gates from insanity on my own accord
Recognizing the key is honesty, I begin to move forward


Surrendering from the constraints of a self inflicted battle
I admit being defeated as I turn on another path to travel


Without promises for tomorrow –
To be broken in sorrow
I begin to adopt a new principal –
As a value to follow


I am powerless today
For which is assured


There is freedom in honesty

After what I endured
