Venomous Addictions

Venomous Addictions

Lights flash as bass music becomes louder,
Alcohol consumed on lips taste bitter,
Heartbeat races at such fast rapid speeds,
Another little pill is all the body needs.

The Bathroom door slams open and shut,
What happens in the toilet stays a secret,
Venomous addictions trouble young mind,
While setting her free, problems left behind.

_Not the best. :( Just needed to vent what Im going through atm. Any comments votes are much appreciated. :)

    Actually, this is very good.
    Your lines are very descriptive, painting a very detailed picture for the reader.

    It flows very smoothly throughout and I only have a couple suggestions to bring it to a higher level.

    Alcohol consumed on lips taste bitter
    ^
    if you want to use those exact words, then "taste" needs to be "tastes"

    Here are a couple other ways it could be said:
    Alcohol stained lips taste bitter
    Lips stained with alcohol taste bitter
    Alcohol comsumed - lips taste bitter

    The Bathroom door slams open and shut
    ^
    Bathroom door slams loudly shut

    I was going to comment that the next line doesn't fit the rhyme scheme that you have set up, but I suppose some people may pronounce "secret" more with an "ut" than an "it", if so, then it's fine.

    Great work!
