Purification through Discipline

Knocked down
A deadly one-two punch connected right on the spot
Once again these tribulations let me lie face down
Like a self-pitying bleeder suffering defeat
Inconsolable, in need of spiritual relief

Craving for a soothing substance
Defenseless, susceptible to harm
Self-imposed disgrace
Not worth a bucket of warm spit
A sucker dropping the mouthpiece
Concentration traded for short bursts of uncontrolled euphoria

It slithers around you like a serpent targeting its prey
No portent of the ruination of a man

A shameful creature dead on the feet
Its lard-coated body can't resist the temptation
Its frail limbs rendered inanimate
Confined in a vicious circle of distress
Vitality has been lost
Mental comfort secured through escaping the reality

The highest price is being paid

Knocked down
Yet saved by the bell
Sweating the poison out
Composure has been regained
A slugfest with my inner self
To keep the appetite restrained
Purification through discipline

Just do what must be done
