Invisible

Asleep on a pavement Filthy and gaunt Empty bottle beside him Drowning demons that haunt Few teeth, hair matted No shoes on calloused feet Spirit beaten and broken Years living on the street Weathered, aged beyond his years His mind lost to the booze Alone, unseen, neglected Trapped ,afraid ,confused A precious young man full of life Until addiction robbed his soul Money for the next bottle Now, his only life’s goal Swore he would never be like him Now he lay ,tagged John Doe on a slab Cause of death…..Alcoholism Exactly like his dad!
