I Fell

by Cody   Jul 7, 2006


I fell short this time
I couldn't keep myself in line
I fell off the wagon again
The bottle became my friend

Drinking away my pain
Only gives me greater shame
But I can't help myself
From hating everybody else

But drinking makes me love you all
At least until I fall
Then the nightmares come
And I remember what I've done

I hate myself even more
Every time I pass out on the floor
So to find peace I drink for a few hours
To forget that I'm a coward

    Unfortunately i can relate to this poem well and you have the feeling down-pat to the 'T' lots of raw emotion short but still excellent another 5/5

    Hey cody, ive missed u!
    Like jenn said, if you believe in yourself i know you can do this. With the help of everyone around you.
    Chin up, you don't give yourself enough credit.
