The Old Timer

The glow of happiness emanates from his core
It is so surreal, how did he overcome the battle?
The battle of temptation that I am still fighting
I want to know what his success tastes like

He knows what I’m feeling because he has been here
He has gone through the cravings and had the dreams
I want to have experience like he does
I want to be able to help myself by helping others

But I have a long way to go
I have to work hard at life and make amends to those I have harmed
Then I will free myself from the weight of my guilt
The weight that almost drowned me

But it won’t be easy
I have to surrender my will for God’s
I have to ignore the monster begging for consumption day after day
Then I will smell a hint of the sweetness that is a new beginning

When all is said and done
I can start to feel on another level
On his level
