A Wake Up Call
by Tim Trueblood

Just wondering thoughts as they
Run through my mind some how it ends
Up back in time, when my life was
A mess and I drank all the time,
For the past twenty years I felt
Like I was doing time, as my mind
Was locked up and filled with grime,
Even though I had a job and thought
I was doing fine, In reality all I
Was doing was paying fines, until
One day I woke up in a real state
Of mind, and realized I'm not paying
Another dime for the stupid drinking
Crimes, and as of now it's been a
Year without a drink and now my mind
Is clear and I feel more complete.
