On Reflection
My brother lives within my head
He is neither living nor dead
But counsels me at every turn
His strength and courage I have to earn
Through abstinence to which Im led
In the mirror he is just the same
Forever taking of my pain
The angst and hell I hurl his way
On each and every sober day
All one way traffic never blame
For Im alive and he is not
I the sober one he the sot
I scream at him for all things bad
The worst times in my past Ive had
I can live but he must rot
Ive finished with him for today
I asked him why I had to pay
For all my drinking with my life
Since illness now does give me strife
He does not answer, will not say

| Very interesting. Two sides of you...one suffering from the other. I like that perception |
