April is Alcohol Awareness Month. If alcohol has negatively impacted your life, the way it has mine, write a poem that encourages alcohol addiction sufferers to ask for help.

Vyxyn in Poetry & Free Verse

I never understood the attraction

To this foul rotted concoction.

I was never tempted to drink

But he was and he did so drink.

To make it worse he worked at a liquor store!

Upon returning home early one morning, banging on the door, he couldn't find his keys.

Drunk again, angry for no reason he beat me so bad

7mos pregnant, so much blood!

He thought I was dead, I couldn't talk or see

Now I have Epilepsy. All I did was open the door.

That's all I did to find myself on the floor.
