THINGS TO DO AND NOT GET HIGH
Aleja Bennett
For the first time in my life I will try to live sober
so that I may see my children and their's get older.
Now I know there are some things I have to stand up to
and this is just what I plan to do.
I never had to face things being high
and I never let myself feel weak to cry.
This one thing that I do know
is when I start to feel alone
and can't make it on my own
I'll pick up the phone, if no ones home
I'll make another call because I will not fall.
When I was drunk I stunk
but now I smell good
like a real woman should.
No it's not easy to stop drinking
but im real sick and tired of sinking.
When I should be singing, living, rejoicing,
hoping, wishing, praying, laughing, writing
dancing, communicating, fellowshipping
expressing, happy not sad
but most of all try to be glad.
What we have to realize is that we're special
because God made us, there is nothing else to discuss
but your feelings at a meeting.
Take it day by day
because of this substance we
must all atay away and think about the next day
when it comes our way.
