40 oz to freedom
That's all they ever say
Drink a little more
You never have to pay

I know someone
Who almost died
Because people told him
to drink it dry

He drank and drank
and drank some more
until he couldn't breathe
and fell on the floor

This kid just laughed
and said out loud
"your pretty dumb"
and smiled at the crowd

They left him there
Just lying on the floor
until he woke up
dry and sore

To this day
He doesn't drink a ton
after that night
of Bicardi 151

But he is fine
and as happy as can be
he didn't die
thank god for me

So as you can see
am I am happier than no other
for this boy
he is my brother

Great poem. Substance abuse, whether it be long term or one single incident, is a horrible thing. I am glad your brother made it through though. Welcome to Passions.

BTW, on a little side note, its considered kinda rude to put please reply in the title of the thread. every thread should be replied to, not just the ones the authors choose to prioritize.

I am not a poet, I am merely one who speaks in emotion

Welcome to Passions!! I am glad to see you have learned a valuable lesson through your brother's experience. It is all to tempting to try and loose ourselves in a bottle or in some other form of chemical high. the more we run away from life in these substances the more life builds and comes crashing down on us. Well done and I hope to see more of you.

WOW I really like your poem because now a days that is what happens at parties. I am really glad that your brother is ok now and I hope he has learned his lesson to not try to look good when actually he is making hmself look bad...I hope you have learned from his mistake and know now not to do what he has done
