Izzy Hawthorne Poet Rhyme

Alkie

Hi my name is izzy, im an alcoholic 

Never really had a problem 
But that’s what other people call it 

I guess I’ll never change 

Cuz my brain is really strange 

And it helps me not to care. 

Yeah im pretty messed up 

The fact that im here at all means i fessed up

I wasn’t in control 

Of my body or my soul 

And rifts it caused are voids now. 

I burnt bridges way to easily

Tried to rebuild a couple recently 

And really I think it would be good for me 

But I need to admit I caused that. 

A decade under the influence 

As a kid I said I’d never do it 

But then I grew up and went through it 

Never put a lot of thought to it 

And now the life i leads incongruous 

To a peaceful existence and happy life. 

Sure. I’m happy in the drunk state 

Payday comes. The weekends here i can’t wait 

To get dressed up and smelling good to go play 

In neon streets with golden lights and and no gray

It’s fun for the night, but then I check my bank account. 

Wake up from a deep not sleep 

You blacked out again from a night in the streets 

Try to recollect some memory you can keep 

But more than money, in memory the cost Aint cheap. 

Don’t ask what I said or did. I don’t remember. 

The women are a great thrill 

From the club to her crib to an alcohol and chill 

Her lips make the room spin like a windmill 

Or at least, it probably would if I remembered 

Wake up in her bed with a headache

She rolls over, groans and says this was a mistake 

I hold my head and say I can relate 

So I get on all my clothes abd vacate. 

It really isn’t as fun as it sounds. 

Head is split in two and the sun burns my eyes 

What was done yesterday was random and unwise 

No matter if I say it’s hookup culture I despise 

I actively participate and it causes cognitive dissonance
