Just for Today

A Poem by Michael Wright

Just for Today Michael Wright Aug 23 2014

Some say I was born with you in me

I don't know about all that now

I know you tried to destroy me

You even tired to kill me

What the hell did I do to you?

I tired to fight you off

I tired to reason with you

Even rationalizing with you didn't work

I even tired to bride you

You Tired to take me to dark places

No where I should have been

You almost won you son of a b***h!

But no I was better then that

I was stronger then that!

Finding that inner strength to arrest you

I have the weapons to fight you

Placing you in bondage as you did to me

I will not falter in this battle

You are in check, as you shall remain!

I cannot rid myself of you

As you will be with me till my dieing days

You will always be a part of my being

However, you will never be all of my being

I might some day let you loose again

For it will not be this day!

Today, is all I have

Today, is all I need!
