A Trap
Starts out as a drink one time
before you know it, it's every night.
Stopping at your favorite spot
on your way home from work.
Looking forward to
having a drink
grab a cup and pour it in.
Sit alone on the couch
as you watch your life play out, on the shadows of the walls.
Turn the light on to erase it all.
Thinking to yourself
how did life unravel so quick?
I was only looking for a fix.
with bottle in hand you walk to the sink
knowing it needs to stop now
you pour it out..
Every day, on average, 11,318 American youth (12 to 20 years of age) try alcohol for the
first time, (the marin institute)
