Demon Alcohol

How ironic that something I used to love is something I hate so bad now. But I have to say that it gave me strength from going through the struggle.

DEMON

ALCOHOL

It so funny the false sense of identity you gave me

I never held my head so high and felt so free

My reflection in the mirror reversed inside my head

It wouldn’t have mattered if I was alive or dead

I was already dead because my soul was yours for awhile

The moment you touched my lips you made me smile

You even gave my body some euphoric feeling

And "thanks" for the times you had me down kneeling

I was praying but no one could hear my silent cry

I was convinced that someone above was just a lie

Now I look at you and I swear I want to kill you

I want you to bleed for what you put me through

You can’t blame it on me because I was weak

You always prey on those you think are meek

You will keep getting into everyone’s inner core

But there will come a day God will settle the score

You just want to get to us humans because you’re mad at God

You can’t stand up to him because you are flawed

There will come a day you will still be in your hell

And shut up forever with no story left to tell

I will be above you laughing in your face

And watching you bleed in God’s grace

This poem is very emotional. My aunt whom I am very close to was an alcoholic but she has been without a drink for 6 and half years�thank God. Sadly my father wasn't so lucky it started with alcohol and then went to drugs and eventually led to his death. Amazing write and thank you for sharing a part of your life that was so dark�

Being flawed can be a great thing to motivate us into doing something good or bad and as you pointed out in this poem it can blur the line between what we need and what we want. Really a bittersweet ending but a good one none the less.

AWESOME!!!!

I like this, because not only are you talking about alcohol, but you are talking about The Adversary, I am assuming, and yes, he does hate himself, he wants to bring us down as well. His plan is to overthrow God's plan, and he wil entice us with alcohol, drugs, or what i got myself into......credit cards, spending money, debt........or men...women..whatever....they are all the same vices he uses to bind us with his flaxen ropes.

i also had two family members who had alcohol/drug problems, and i understood you in this poem. it's hard, not only for the person with the addiction, but also people who love them.

THIS ONE IS GOOD JUST LIKE YOUR OTHERS.

My dad was alcoholic it hurts me in my insides.
This poem made me cry and started to cut myself.
Its amusing to watch my red blood flow down my body.
I lick it afterwards.

i have never had that problem and never understood why people do things such as get themselves addicted to drugs and alcohol.
however.
i do think that your work heps you to heal yourself and is a cry out to others with similar problems.
so that is a step in the right direction.
i think you are doing a fine thing

I am a recovering alcoholic and am proud to say that my life without alcohol is rewarding beyond my imagination . Thats not to say that I am without temptation for I will forever be with. Its not the 10th drink that gets me it's the first. Please read my writing "My soap box" I hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to reading more of your work. I loved it.

i like it!
the strong feeling reflecting the sudden change of belief and your strengthening walls of faith!
faith is good...
the poem is a good presentation of your emotions... and it is concealing a calm sense of pleasure in revenge!
the poem is powerful!
and so is your pain and wrath!
you know how to show them!
nicely done!

i like it!
keep it up!

Such strong words. Greatly expressed. So many are overpowered by this and don't know how to let go.
