The Illusion
It is cold at the bottom of this well,
How I came to be here I cannot tell.
I know its not the beer I freely drank,
I know degrees of tipsy from tanked.
Sadly when you abuse drink this way,
You can end up at the bottom to someday.
Guide your mind to understand the harm,
In your heart you know it has no charm.
Take the time to stand aside and see
The better way to keep your body free
Of all the pain that comes with this abuse.
A time may come you feel there is no use
The bottom of the well will be your space
Or fight to make your body a joyous place.
It is cold at the bottom of this well
How I came to be here I can finally tell
I thought I could have fun without the fine
Be above any price for the crime
Could dance on the edge without the fall
Pretend I knew best from one and all.
If you think yourself free of blame for sin
Have one to many and walk the wall’s rim.
It is cold at the bottom of this well
Much as I suspect I shall find in Hell.
