Best Drown Your Sorrows Poems

A brand new development for you and me
A gated community you just have to see.
Situated on the plains of deep despair
A rocky road will lead you there.

Surrounded by lovely weeping willows
Beautiful vistas of the sea of sorrows.
So if you are feeling down and out
This community...

ALCOHOL

When I turned twenty, I started to drink
It made me feel like a man, I think
But I found out I was mistaken
Lost in a fog that may not be shaken

For years I lived in a twilight dream
With Johnny Walker, Jack Daniel and Jim Beam
In retrospect,...

Love?  But he always hurt you.  

Can’t leave the punk?  But he is abusive.  

In too deep?  Just leave him! 

Alone?  Isn’t that the best way to be?  

Need someone to lean on?  But the world is...

Though you're not there
You still leave a presence
Thinking of happiness gives you the chills
Like a kid opening christmas presents
At night you drown your sorrows
But tonight your sober
But yet that bottle numbs the "Pain all Over"

I know you don't say it
Your actions explains it all
All you...

Gazing up into the sky
A falling star catches my eye
Surrounded by the brightest moon

A memory soon floods my head
Of all the things we left unsaid
Misalignment of the stars
Drown your sorrows in a bar

Lies, deception, I was weak 
But you are hopeless. Never speak 
What you...

Politicians and Promises
By Franklin Price
8/28/2015

Politicians and promises 
Are quite synonymous
If they do not keep them
That is no surprise to us

Will tell us what we want to hear
Promise us most anything
Enthrall us with verbosity
On every word we'll cling

Promises you'll likely hear
 I'll try to paraphrase
If politicians...

Smoke drifts from the smokestacks
On dark and gloomy days
Just before the first rains of Summer
Crates are collected and stacked
And thrown onto the conveyor belt
So they may disappear into the fortress

A robot sings songs of yesteryear
And humans simply stand by and observe
Give these jeering men some...

Empty promises
Empty pill bottles
Drive fast, hit the throttle
You're an addict darling,
Let's face it.
It's the start
And you're not gonna make it.

Run from your problems
Run from your disease
Run from the things 
That make you weak

Run from the voices  
The demons in your mind
The ones you're so
Reluctant...

Prevented by chains of numeric organization
Ready for more but only stuck in contemplation

Just like a soldier told “Stay at your station”
Liberty and justice, now that’s a sensation

Life is hard but they hardly know my situation
My brain reaches panic due to this unjust nation

No reason to...

 FATHER 

Jim Beam, Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels
friends with them all.
Miller, Busch, Ballantine, Schimidt
you held them close.

So busy with your “friends” 
no time for baseball games,
fishing, hunting, talking. No
father-son adventures.

Only bond in smoke thickened
bars, playing at base of stool
while another was poured to
drown your sorrows.




Salesmen...

Everyone is a fake,
You are just your mother's stupid mistake.
No one loves you for who you are.
Just drown your sorrows in a bar....

I feel your cold heart freezing
Let me melt those tears away
Drip your tears upon my shoulder
Let me warm your soul setting it on fire

I will gather your tears and drown your sorrows
Holding you up never letting you fall
Turning the dark side of the moon
Facing the...

In the early morning hours I sit and think of a time, a place, a moment it was 
almost twenty years ago,
In the distant I heard the gun shots ring out , 
soon I was standing where I last seen a friend
now pouring beer over...

My brother’s keeper, four glass walls
amber liquid in a bottle.
Drink after drink,
hear the glasses clink.
Words as bitter as the gin,
sometimes he lets the liquor win.
Drown your sorrows with every swallow,
until you feel nothing,
insides hallow.
Hear your heart pumping but its not pumping blood,
alcohol runs through your...
