Emotions can be expressed in different ways. Our guest blogger Mary Montgomery shares with us her struggles with being tempted to drink.
I reached for it
It was sitting in the fridge
Hidden in the back
Cold
Staring back at me
Tempting me a little
It was one of those days where I wanted to hide in the pain
The tears would not stop
I wanted to dull the pain
Live in the fog of life
I reached for me
Immediately feeling the comfort of the cold
Drifting into that world
Thinking one would be ok
Taking a sip
Dipping down in the evil world that I want to dance with
I don’t have the strength to lift myself up
Torn down from ever bitter word spoken to me
The hatred brews from inside
But I don’t let them win
They have already destroyed so much of me
My soul dark and ripped out
I scream louder that they will not win
I do not give in
I do not drink more
I do not please them
I will not give in
I will rise up
I am enough
