Drink

Drink

A Poem by David Dodsworth

Whenever I’m down I turn to the drink

Get it down quickly with no time to think

It makes me forget, all the s**t in my life

Even the b***h that once was my wife

When I have a drink it makes me feel good

Then I wake in a field all covered in mud

To escape from my life as often as I can

When deep down inside I am what I am

Like Jekyll and hyde I’m good then I’m bad

I never feel happy I only feel sad

Drink is a demon and it’s inside my head

 I must overcome it or soon I’ll be dead

I only make enemies now, never friends

The friends that I have are only pretend

Their only around me when I get paid

But never their for me when I feel the pain

Drink is my downfall and I hate what I am

But try to see through that as I’m still just a man
