The times I get home from work
Head to the kitchen to pop the cork
Don’t grab dinner, no knife, no fork
Open the fridge to take out a beer
Sit in the chair and think of this year
Beer number 1 is gone in 5 minutes
Beer number 2 haven’t reached the limit
Beer number 12 now I’m crying
Hard liquor next there’s thoughts of dying
Family left because of the alcohol
Depression setting in should I end it all
Words look into heart and the soul
Friends leave you, he’s a drunk less than whole
The pressures of the world leave you in a hole
Alcoholism and isolation is the end result
No one to turn to, have to be a man and figure it out
Found dead in his house, choked on a 40 ounce
Deep !!..Kudos!!!
I used to drink, and now I’m recovering, your piece reminds me of the day to day struggles we have with this addiction thank you!
