I can sit well with this one.. I have myself seen addiction in one form or the other.. Have been under it's glare and control.. Today's days are a bit brighter for me.. Although not quite out of the tunnel yet.. I did enjoy this poem...

One more read of it, one more idea.. The Jekyll and Hyde reference; the idea there is that possibly some elixir or concoction there of, may produce one to become as they truly are.. The beast inside is not released, it just bubbles back to the surface.. I'm saying that that "altering" of what lies beneath is no altering at all.. One's true self is what is unmasked... That's all....

The mentioning of Jekyll and Hyde is nice, and referenced in a quote on the cover of a book I bought recently.

'"With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to that truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: That man is not truly one, but truly two."
-Robert Louis Stevenson, Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Chapter 10'

Alcohol is a great substance, that when used in the right circumstances, can lower inhibition, and bring out the best of us. Other times however, it delays and distorts the mind and perception, and is misused to escape problems and/or forget them. In doing so however, sometimes we end up with new ones, like a series of broken belongings in an underlying subconscious rage or irrational sense of angered reaction.

Nicely done Invierno. :)

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
