Alcoholism - (Acrostic)

by Walter   Jan 6, 2019


Always wanting more, you never have enough
Life becomes your battle, escape when it's rough
Consuming all your time, with the spell it puts you in
Obsessed by its effects, without you can't begin
Hopeless you feel lost, when it's not around
Outcast from this life, not wanting to be found
Living on the edge, no fear that you might fall
Insecure and dependent, until you have one more
Senseless and sedated, is where you want to be
Mesmerized every moment, you believe it sets you free

    Thanks Milly and I don't drink either but can only imagine how awful it would feel to be caught in this web. :)

    I dont drink myself but this is a clever acrostic that conjours up most vividly in my mind my expectation of what i imagine alcoholism must be like. Milly x
