Happiness in a bottle

Contributed by rugby_player on Saturday, 19th June 2004 @ 10:39:47 PM in AEST
Topic: drugabuse



It started out as nothing
Just something i did as a teen with friends
I wanted to fit in
In reality i couldn't i was different
Well at least to some
My whole family is full of alcoholics
Why didn't i take the warning
But no

I kept going
Then something happend to make it worse
She came into my life
Cheated and tore out my heart
I was left lifeless on the floor

I got up the strength
The strength to take a cap off
I poured out my problems in a glass
Why you ask?
Because i felt like an ***

The years past
So did the bottles
One,two,three,four,five,six
Some may call that an overdose
But for me it was just a buzz
I had no choice but to keep going

I downed more and more
I gave up on what i was doing at the time
Which might have been a big mistake
But the bottle took it from me
I could not get it back.

I never slept
Just laid their in a coma
Praying i wouldn't wake
But my prays were let down

Awaken i did
Just to do it again
Since the age of 16
This has been my routine
Why can't he let me die

So do you play rugby drunk?:)

Nice poem, depressing, but nice just the same.

Maybe you should move to one of the lovely dry counties we still have here in texas.
Don't worry though, if you keep it up- you will certainly die of liver disease- says the med student.

Good poem.

This is very sad. Go to your Dr. he can give u medication that can help u cope. Even to the alcholic there is hope. I've been married to an alcholic before. Thought I wwould never see the day he would be sober but he's an recovering alcholic. It doesn't happen over nite and U have beinges. But u jus have to take each day as it is and know there is hope.
This is a very moving write.
luv, huggs, faith, hope, joy,
emy
