I Drank

I Drank   I drank away my future and I drank away my past I drank away the anger in hopes it will not last I drank away the suffering in hopes it fades away I drank away the night and I drank away the day   I drank away my memories that seem to come and go I drank away the pain I felt and times of feeling low I drank away the sorrow and the tears I cry and night I drank away the hurt and scars I know that it’s not right   I drank away the agony that I’ve known through out my years I drank away the frustration and I drank away my fears I drank away the family that caused the pain you see I drank away my childhood and I drank away the me   This is my prayer for you my friend don’t let it go on to long Give to God your vices the ones you know are wrong If you wait to long like me my friend it’s harder to break the chain Drinking only masks the sorrow and it only masks the pain   Don’t hide behind the bottle because its clear and all can see Don’t hide behind the past and don’t hide behind the me The me is a representation of all the things you hate Take it from a drunkard with God it’s never to late   So when the time comes and you feel the urge to drink I hope this poem reminds you and I hope it makes you think These words from a drinker I know the pain you flee God can take it from you he saved a wretch like me The Writings of an Invisible Man is available at Amazon.com
