Drinking Time

by Alexandra Jade Brewer   Feb 2, 2008


I need to run away
From all that's real
Escape all the pain
I no longer want to feel

I call it my time
A chance to be alone
It's causing so much hurt
I can only moan

The feeling starts to numb
Its better this way
The pain begins to cease
I laugh at my dismay

I soak up the moments
When everything seems fine
I've chased away the anger
Through my drinking time

***For a contest***

    I like it, short and simple, it gets across what you want, you can really feel the sadness... while i like this piece, you have some that are more powerful so i'll give it a 4/5

    Eh, its alright. The rhyme scheme makes it seem kinda young, but at the same time its kinda funny, so it almost works.
