I Drink

Listen to poem:

I drink when I am happy. I drink when I am sad. I drink when I get angry. I drink when I am bad. I drink to increase my pleasure. I drink to decrease my pain. I drink for peace of mind. My mind is now in pieces once again. I think I drink. I can't think because I drink I think. My days are a haze. My nights are a blur. This cycle I am in is pure torture. Help me please I can't put down my drink. I am alone and scared. Into this bottle I sink.

A fun little poem Ashley...I really like the line..I think I drink. I can't think because I drink I think.
