Alcohol, I have a like, hate relationship with it
Many don’t understand my feelings on this and frankly I don’t give a shit
It made people hurt me physically and mentally, ruined relationships and my life in many ways
Caused many nights of pain, tears, loss of self-respect, self-confidence, sleepless nights, no sleep for days
Alcohol can take a hold of a person and refuse to let go
If that person isn’t strong enough, they change, turn into people we no longer know
Alcohol changes people, not everyone, but many that I’ve known
I do believe, that to a point, when alcohol is heavily consumed, true colors are shown
Alcohol turned so many of my loved ones into dark, ugly people
Monsters who mentally and physically hurt me, just so evil
I was unable to compete with it, why should I have had to
Some would think a drink would never be as important as someone who loves you
Drinking, in excess, reminds me too much of hate, fights, anger, sadness
A social drink they would not partake in, they refused to admit alcohol was their weakness
Alcohol, I like you but I absolutely hate and despise you as well
I’ve had many great many memories with you but also times when life was a living hell
