Under the influence

by BECCA lessTHANthree   Dec 24, 2006


Under the influence
that’s where he hides
Away from reality
He's trying to die

He's trying to leave
It hurts me so bad
If only he knew
All that he had

He stumbles and falls
And he makes me cry
He Makes me wish
That I could die

But I cannot
Just fade away
I need to live
I need to stay

Up tireing nights
Waiting for him
just so that I
can tuck him in

I love him so much
But he is not real
Too intoxicated
and too numb to feel

he is so mean
And he yells real loud
He laughs as he painfully
Pushes me down

& under the influence
that's where he hides
where he was lost
and where daddy died

    "I love him so much
    But he is not real
    Too intoxicated
    and too numb to feel"
    ^ I love that stanza, especiallyt he last too lines.

    You did a great job with this poem. The ending confused me a bit, BUT only because I thought it would be about an ex or current boyfriend, eh.

    You did a great job with this poem, as well.
    Keep it up. <3 Teria.

    wow the last stanza of this poem really hit me. Very strong and powerful.
    "under the influence
    that's where he hides
    where he was lost
    and where daddy died."

    its so true cause when that happens its no longer your father its the alchol taking control of him. The poem itself was very sad. I'm so very sorry that you have to live in that hell. Stay strong, cause what doesnt' kill you makes you stronger. The only critice that I have is in the last stanza you should write the word "and" instead of using a symbol because since the entire poem is written it kind of throws off the flow.
