Alcoholic

Helpless cries and retold lies once again he fails to try it kills me inside this feeling i hide this endless pain that never subsides as this ruins my life i turn tords the knife and endure all the pain that hes caused me again why cant he stop another bottle another cop hes just hurting me more my blood drips to the floor returning to jail to think in his cell i go back to old ways being messed up for days my dads an alcoholic and hes never going to change. -Spencer Coggsdale dedicated to Johnie Coggsdale (my dad)

Spencer, this is sad as are all stories of life with an alcoholic. I had a similar experience, I am a daughter of one, it can change and sometimes it does if he gets help. It helps to write about it but actually I never have. This was interesting to read, thank you. It is not easy to write about such pain. Well done!
