Jack may not have noticed it before but he was aware of it now
he was coming to terms with his addiction and he felt so proud
it was a difficult challenge of which he managed to overcome
the cravings upon his taste buds had gone completely numb
resistance was the enemy and acceptance was the key
so it was in Jack’s best interest for him to take heed
immediately to these principles in order to succeed
and start exercising them to kill these demon seeds
to ensure he remains sober he must follow twelve steps
go over them day by day apply them and he’d be all set
Jack had made a solid promise to never ever again succumb
to the dependency of drugs he made it clear that he was done
In Jack’s eyes the sky was the limit many opportunities lied in his wake
along with many more challenges but Jack was strong enough to take
all of those pesky, dreadful challenges on at one time
this was where Jack was going to be drawing the line
