Emotional sobriety
I would like to be able to pray to live life on an even keel.
I would like to seek to trade the highs for the lows
and live a placid, fairly happy existence,
neither over the moon, 'Arry,
nor sick as a parrot.
And when I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired
I almost get ready to pray that prayer.
Then I remember,
how great it was yesterday,
the high,
and I tell myself that
just as that day passed
so too this low shall pass.
And I curl up into a ball
and wait for the high times to return again.
And that's what I'm going to do,
right now.
