Array ( [sid] => 73092 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Addicts Poem [time] => 2004-11-25 07:45:32 [hometext] => I drink so much to block out my past [bodytext] => I can only write from what I know,
Only alcohol is what’s on show,
For me that it what I crave,
It will see me into an early grave.

I drink when I am happy, drink when I’m sad,
Drink when I’m content, drink when I’m mad,
To drink is how I can get by,
I have a drink, so I can then cry.

Can’t really explain how I am feeling,
Only to tell you that my head’s reeling,
Can’t seem to think straight when I’m sober,
Thoughts are spinning over & over.

Mind is weak & my hands shake,
Don’t know how much more I can take,
Drink keeps me going, it's my deadly fuel,
It is such a demon & it is so cruel.

I can’t make a clean break from the drink,
If I am sober then my mind thinks,
I can’t let that happen, I can’t let that be,
Because if I do let it then the monsters will see.

Drinking keeps the monsters at bay,
Leaving them dormant until another day,
I don’t want to face things from my past,
As I know on my state of mind they will sure last.

this hit me deep. I've drunk before to escape
from my thoughts. Although, I haven't done so
often the times I have was when I was at my
lowest. I hope you can get out of this empty
spiral. Your better than that... everyone is
better than that. If you ever want to chat my
MSN is bobothepimpclown@hotmail.com.
This poem will stay with me for a while thanks
for sharing so openly and honestly.
