Alcoholic

Come unhinged On a liquor binge Face down in the snow You’re the man With drink in hand The bar can’t make you go That drink of wine Sure taste fine You’ve never been so low When you drink That’s what you think For what reason You don’t know

I like how you place yourself in drunkard's shoes in your poems - the hangover described in this verse is quite impressive. I have a family member that drinks, so I bet he can relate to this. Thanks for posting!

Alcoholism is an awful addiction. I know firsthand, because my father was one, and unfortunately, it skipped a generation and settled in our youngest daughter. The heartache is immeasurable. For her, and for others. Thanks for sharing.
