Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life.

Rarely, Maybe, Probably

If I don't know me
How can I expect you to understand
Trully perplexed
Way too complex
I never say yes
I never ever say no
Rarely, may be, probably
Is that an open mind?
Or a debating trick?
Arguing with the right hand
Against the left one
Always on shifting sand
At least I'm not sinking
Any deeper by altering the pain...
Or expect to be happy all the time
With faltering steps I walk toward the light
Ever wary that no one else's steps are my own
Only more or less the same
Rarely, maybe, probably
An open mind or a debating trick?
Humbly, it's an open mind
Arrogantly, it's a debating trick
And I go back and forth
With shortcomings better than they were...

Okiyoe,

I hear ya. When I was a kid at the beach I learned to duck under the waves or let them wash on over. If I planted my feet and put my shoulder into them I'd get knocked down. Of course, it was fun to get knocked down and to see how big of a wave I could lean into without getting bowled over once and awhile. Still act that way metaphorically speaking of course, I might add.
