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�

This is an interesting peice.

I liked it, and at the same time wanted to see the speaker take the responsibilty for drinking.

Nice work.

I like this very much. The booze is a merciless scoundrel that ruins many lives one way or another, sometimes slowly sometimes violently.

Most excellent. It's the anti-thesis to the ode I wrote to the bottle in HS. Funny how it pulls you in...and drowns you. Good for you for rising above...there's some that never do. Good write!!! And most victorious for you!! yippee!!

MAN!! You are a GREAT writer.. Emotional indeed.. Just like me! you have to read Love and Junkies.. This poem reminds me soo much of that! I love how you made Alcohol into a person, or rather a demon..satan himself.

This is a great poem. As I was reading it, I was saying..hmm

You rock! :)

The reason i love this poem is because it seems like it came from your heart. maybe you cried when you wrote this piece. I personally know about the affects and pitfalls that stem from alcohol. Again I would have to rate this piece a 100!!!
