Didn't want to go to close

It might have been a dillusioned dose

Maybe someone having a poke

It definitely wasn't a joke

Feeling the anxiety

This felt like a strange society

Just as well I had my sobriety

No one else would have gone quietly

They wanted me to make a pledge

It seemed like someone was inserting a wedge

Others thought it might just be a ledge

This was the way it was living on the edge

For Fun
