The worst seems to have long since passed
My brains repaired the faults that led to sleeping on friends couches drinking far too much at once
The hopelessness of living has subsided to a hum
A gentler time in present the sea is calm the rivers run without the fear of capsizing at any given twist or turn
A steady pace has smoothed out all the cracks and bumps ahead
There's a peace that's captured sometimes I don't live only in my head
There's many things that I can't do so many things that I'm not good at but for once I'm in a place where my pathetic arms can reach the top
I hope you take a drink with me to celebrate not drinking just to feel alive or to get some fucking sleep
I hope you take a drink with me that's just a drink and not coping mechanism for the awful shit we did
I hope you take a drink with me not worry about how it will effect you financially
I got some money to my name after years of scraping by
Thank you for adding me to rounds even though I couldn't supply
I'm choosing healthier options not eating whatever I can find
Like some pizza left in boxes on the street by passers by
Were getting older every day but I think were still in our prime
My friends are getting married I always thought It would feel like I'm losing them its seems like everyone drifts apart in the end regardless it's just time and that's just fine
Nothing I do matters
A punch line with no joke
I hope I prove myself wrong one day
I hope I it happens before I choke
