I'm a bit lost at this point, i drink to remember but mostly forget.
I've lost friends and family but gained only some of them back
The ones I've lost are gone forever, i'll never be able to find them again
No matter how hard i try i can't reach them, they follow me everywhere, but are too far to grasp
I wish I could hold them once more, tell them I'm sorry
But it's too late, I'm already far gone
I'm convicted without memory, no past to talk about
Too many drugs and memories, i paid my price
This may be confusing to some, but to others it makes sense
I'll never go back, mainly cause i can't
No matter what i do, it wont change a thing
Suicide is no solution, just another escape
I drink to remember, but mostly just forget
I sound like a broken record, playing the same sad song
I'll never meet my child, or kiss my love again
They're gone forever, names and faces fade away
I made my choices, paid my toll, poor as they may have been
I have to move forward, it's all uphill from here
But i've trained my whole life, to fight battles i'll never win
But nevertheless i'll fight, because that's all i'm allowed to know
I write this fighting tears, only to see a blurry picture
I drink to remember, but I'll never forget the poor choices I made that cost you your life
I really felt this
I really felt this. I felt it, all the way to the centre.
Clarity
While physical faculties are fogged - I am not a robot when sober, I rarely drink or do drugs other than a tylenol and insulin. It is about seeing clearly and writing it down based on the stimuli of livign. Poetry is about humans and what they do. I don't get out so much anymore except family, but I read. so read about folks - great things are being accomplished, movements, students marching, prezidents lying. It is soooooo exciting 2019 and 2020 will be a hoot. Read it an laugh. They also have jokes on line. Try that and smile :D slc
Tired Of Living, Afraid Of Dying
some days you gotta look up to see bottom. Become addicted to reading. You write well. - slc
rock bottom
Thank you for the compliment. it's difficult for me to write sometimes, so i appreciate this
The insane way to pay the price of humanity
Is to never stop the battle
Fight til your final breath
And pray someone wont forget
