"The War that is No More"

"My heart is driven,
by this decision,
to stay sober,
to stay alive,
to breathe life,
on the fire,
that is my essence.
Because my life,
could be taken,
at any second.

So I choose to stay sober,
I choose to stay clean,
to have a better chance,
at figuring out,
what all of this,
that is my life,
what it all really means.

I do not wish,
to shut the door,
on the horror,
that I've seen,
I choose to be,
at peace with it,
so I can stay serene."
