    Glass in Hand
    she said she has dreams
    that she cant have with me
    so i silent my screams
    while she walks out on me
    laughter wont mix with misery
    so i drink a bottle
    and wish for more whiskey
    waking up
    is not a friendly hand
    i cant reach for the cup
    with my glass in hand
    wonder why i'm trying
    to survive this
    till it happens again
    i can only wish
    my thoughts slur
    my tongue will list
    to port and bow
    and back again
    drunken broken man
    with a spine like a leaf
    refusing to deal
    or share in his grief
    till one summers day
    in a month i cant remember
    my heart gave out
    and i finally surrendered
    enjoyed a few smiles
    and gained an ally
    we all start this journey
    with ourselves by our side

    this feels like, the path you have taken is a long one, which you feel you have to do alone. It also tells me you have come to a realization and picked yourself up and began a new...and it wasnt easy

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
