im drunk today
just like they say
im not going to care
about anything
but then you know
i really do
you just cant tell
because of the booze

thats what they all say
before there dead and gone
there memories preserved
in a fifth of coke and rum

were all drowned
in alcohol
and we cant see
how it ruins us all
so we drink
until we start to think
that it doesnt matter
till we hit our brink

and this my friends
is what we've become
those washed up losers
and those stinking bums

lost in our memories
of what we could be
if we didnt drink
we start to think

how did it come this far

An exelent question and an exelent poem. I have watched many of my good friends fall into this trap of drugs and booze. I wish it never got that far, wish I could help them, but they wont help themselves so...

Nice write.
