WOW, Peta, this is very good! I love the last stanza:
You poison your body
with alcohol
Killing the man
that cares

Very well, very wise! I do love this poem! Thank you SO much for posting it here, as I am certain MANY can relate...I now I can!

Can I ask who this poem is written about? If you'd rather not say, I understand!
In any event, it is a wonderful poem indeed!

All my love, Dara
