The Bottle

Aggravated with myself
Becoming what I never wanted
The bottle of rum begging me
Harrassing me, calling me

Laying awake far past drunk
I'm far past due
Time to mix another coke
Gulp it down to mock myself

Slipping away from who I am
I want the bottle
I want the intoxicating feel
Fade away from sober

Liquor told me it has the answer
But my mind says no
Body says yes
Fighting myself inside and out

Alcoholism is an issue
Runs thick in the bloodline
Tearing me down for another taste
Becoming my father I wish not to be
