living life out of the bottom of a liquor bottle

by kevin lander - Aries

my mouth is dry and my eyes burn
I sit in the corner and whatch the hours turn
I can drink today and instead I'll stop tomarrow
I'm broke and poor so I look for a few bucks to borrow

this vicious cycle is tearing me to apart
I want to stop but for the love of me I can't start
I can't think strait and I start to feel sick
the cure for my pain becomes another drink I think it will do the trick
when I hit the bottom of the bottle I realize i was wrong
my face in my own vomit and in my head the droning of another sad song

I'm in a neverending tunnel I want to get out no matter what the cost
instead I kick back another bottle and kill all hope and the chance of escape turns to loss



Reason for writing:

    I myself am not an alcoholic I wrote from observing those I know
