Addiction First



I walked around the garden
in a sunny Chilean valley

picked fruit from the trees
an apple, grapes
Chile has one of the
greatest climate

I used to sing for a neighbor
when I was 6 years of age

she was in her late years seeking company
one
who could bring melodies
to her loneliness


My father always looked good
not a stain on his clothing

but the smell of alcohol

used to ruined all afternoon

and I played I did,
holding my breath


I have walked so far
as to reach adulthood
still promising something
I can not keep

My breath stinks of alcohol
tonight, and always

and ruined this poem
I did

The depth of trouble addiction brings about is well pictured with these words here. The good memories tainted, and a swirl to the pits are what come through to me. Very sad situation, one many know too well unfortunately...

Addictions have ruined many a family's happy days. If only they realized the hurt they are causing. It is a disease that can be cured with the proper help. Not easy but millions have done it.
