Just One…

One beer, is what I think, just one cold drink.
One fear, is what I know, just one cold beer.

One drink leads to one more, two deep now.
One more pour coming right up, but how.

One thought, leads to past pain being gone.
One solution is all they taught, only one known.

One problem, it never works, the pain becomes worse.
One pattern, one substance, only answer rehearsed.

One beer, is what I think, just one cold drink.
One fear, is what I know, just one cold beer.
