Poetry: Drinking

Denial

They say I have a problem
I just say I see
Point it out exactly
What is wrong with me

The excessive alcohol
You drink every day
It's going to kill you
Is what they say

They tell me it's an excuse
A cowardly way to deal
I say it's my friend
They say I am ill

The drinking is my comfort
A way I can forget
I can stop when I'm ready
I am just not ready yet

Temptation never goes away
Though your cares can
They tell me there is recovery
But I don't understand

I have not a problem I say
I can quit when I decide
Yet the longer it goes on
The more I know I lied

Once a hold of your life
The grip will only tighten
Every time you take a sip
Heavy burdens lighten

You choose the poison
It will take the toll
Once you are consumed
The devil takes your soul

    Drinking was part of my past,
    growing went way to fast.
    For no parents I had,
    cause they were both at the bar.
    This time they

    Well pickle my liver, pour me a drink,
    I want to get off for the day,
