Hope Runs Out

He asked for so little Kept looking for the signs Just enough to show She cared She loved him He kept looking His heart Let down Sinking with every miss He finally had to Admit defeat She loved the bottle And he just couldn’t compete AP: 2nd place 2021 Posted on September 17, 2019

Most addictions lead back to our early childhood and how our parents treat their children. A child believes mom and dad. Whether they tell the child they are good or no good. We all deal with loneliness and depression in many different ways. <3

When looking for solution in the bottle is that life is not going well ... there is hope, because hope there is always ... Hope is the last that dies... salute alkas

So sad but that really does happen sometimes. I've had people in my family die from this legal drug, alcohol. It's just as bad as the illegal ones. Blessings for you and your inspiring poetry.
