Drink Away

A Poem

Drink

Drink

"I drink for fun."

What a lie,

You drink to hide.

To hide your emotions,

That you do not want to say.

To hide the emotions,

You don't want anyone to know.

"One more drink, then I'm done."

That's what you say,

After half a bottle is gone.

You really don't stop

Instead you finish.

Are you happy now?

Did the pain and hurt go away?

In the end...

No.

It really didn't go away.

You drink for an escape

Instead of facing your problems.

Even when there is someone here..

Right beside you.

You still result to the addictive beverage.

Alcohol.

Enjoy your drink...

For the bottle is almost gone

And your bottled up emotions

Still remain.

Waiting,

Waiting for you to notice it again.

For it shall wait

Because it has you captive

And you're a prisoner,

That just can't break free

Until you let someone in

And let them help...

I am here.

Can't you see?

I am here.

To help you.

Help you through your pains.

I am here.

Holding your hand.

Please let me in...

I am here...

To help...

So let me...

Please?
