Poem: Alcoholism
Today, I have promised myself never to drink again
As I sit here staring blankly at the now empty bottle
It amazes me how quickly such determination has vanished
I'm worthless and understood by no one
I enjoy the feeling of the cold drink running down my throat
I enjoy the headaches and the vomiting
I enjoy the satisfaction it brings me
Then I must enjoy being alone
It's hard letting go
All of my emotions running high
A quickened pulse and rapid heartbeats
Bloodshot eyes and a challenging temper
My slight reflection in the glass appear empty
I don't need help from anyone
I will follow my own rules into despair
Let me live my life the way that I want to
Rich flavored liquor and a beer to go with it
Even if my life was a thousand times richer
I'd still seek the bottle, I know I would
So I tell my only friend, my only true friend
I'm tired and I need help
As I sit here staring blankly at the now empty bottle
It amazes me how quickly such determination has vanished
I'm worthless and understood by no one
I enjoy the feeling of the cold drink running down my throat
I enjoy the headaches and the vomiting
I enjoy the satisfaction it brings me
Then I must enjoy being alone
It's hard letting go
All of my emotions running high
A quickened pulse and rapid heartbeats
Bloodshot eyes and a challenging temper
My slight reflection in the glass appear empty
I don't need help from anyone
I will follow my own rules into despair
Let me live my life the way that I want to
Rich flavored liquor and a beer to go with it
Even if my life was a thousand times richer
I'd still seek the bottle, I know I would
So I tell my only friend, my only true friend
I'm tired and I need help
