What Happened To My World

While escaping my real world 
and life I found 
a new world called alcohol 
and drugs abound 
these new worlds allow me 
to escape for a day 
but I can't tell which world 
I'm in today 
I know the world turns 
but mine turns too fast 
alcohol please help me 
like you have in the past 
my stature in life 
has removed my being 
my new world is now 
the only world I'm seeing 

What happened to my life !!!

I once took that road. It's a dead end. It's also a lot harder walking back than getting there! Sad write, Mark:)

A lament from many who go that way! Your words dripping with the stain of abuse. Trust all is well. Regards, Craig
