I'm an alcoholic look at me,
So why are you going to start drinking.

You were the one who always told me I needed to stop,
Because you saw what it was doing to me.

ALcohol made me almost kill myelf,
ANd you said that hurt you so bad.

Now you tell me you drink to fit in,
But drinking because everyone else does wont make you any cooler.

You said it helps you deal with your problems,
But eventually it will make everything worse.

I'm trying really hard to help you but you wont listen to me,
But I guess that's my fault because I never listened to you.

So I'm going to set an example and stop,
Even though alcohol has been my best friend.

Because no drink is worth drinking,
If you end up turning out like me.

Now you see.
Now you see how it is to have to watch a close friend do this to themselves. Now you have a reason to get your act together. Heh...no one ever sees it until they are on the other side.

nice poem

nice...

What would you say if I said to you, it's not in what you say, it's in what you do?

Alcohol is a nasty thing to get attatched to. I'm sorry you had to go through it and that your friend is. Most people hit the wall eventually though.

Your poem had a lot of feeling in it, more so than usual from you. Well done and thank you for posting it.

*nods* This is definitely a thing no should ever have to be addicted to. You're a strong person to both aknowledge this, and get over it.

Thanks for sharing this. It needs to be said sometimes

Very nice poem packed with emotion. I liked this one especially cause a few years back i remember my mom getting really drunk one night and i remember promising myself never to drink until i get that drunk. I hope things work out for the best

This is so well written!!! I think it works the same for smoking and drugs. One should not go into these vices because they think they will fit in and be cool. They don't make one cool, you know that when you see someone who goes through the withdrawal symptoms...
