Array ( [sid] => 111948 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Alcoholic [time] => 2005-12-22 12:50:54 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I know that you will judge me
Before I even begin
Everyone has a weakness
My weakness is Jin.

The void in my heart
Grows deeper and wider
I try to block it out
fill the hole with sider.

Drink it through a straw
To get drunk quicker
Don't wanna face the pain
Instead I turn to liqua.

I awake with a stranger
My vision gets misty
Did I get up to quick?
Or was it that whisky?

Pennyless,
Husbandless,
Childless
And alone,
I lye here with Jack Daniels
Inside my broken home.

I grew up a long, long time ago
I'm old beyond my years
This habit I'm accustomed to
Defends me from my fears

I write this as a mean for change
This sickness must be cured
I know I can't go there again
I'm scared I will be lured. [comments] => 8 [counter] => 629 [topic] => 66 [informant] => Candice [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => drugabuse )

I can understand your fears, once you're an addict, it will always be that way, for the rest of your life, you just have to learn to cope with it and make the right decisions, it's tough, and it's something I struggle with everyday...just believe in yourself and find other vices, such as writing your poetry...
The second to the last stanza is what made this all the worth while.
