poem on alcohol and its effects

Burning as it hits my tounge
and quickly goes down the pain quickly passes
leaving a warm feeling that I quite enjoy.
A pain I find worthy of the reward it gives me.

*************************************************************

How steady a flame can be when the wind doesn't blow.
The slightest breeze felt by the flame.
It flickers but burns bright once again.
Only a burst of air will put out the steady flame.

******************************************************

I write it down
let it out
my daily therapy session
in ink, on paper
the words stored up
in my head
my feelings expressed
where the pen meets the paper.

***********************************************

This empty feeling inside
I just can't shake
I have all I want
but happiness


I am loved and cared for
I am beautiful and smart
I am a mother and a wife
but happiness eludes me


Will I ever be happy again?
What is missing
to make me feel this way?
