The escape

Drinking to escape the pain

The golden bottle stared back at me

An answer to my misery

One sip and I would relax

He couldn't bother me

All tension was gone

My mind was numb

Body calm

Feeling

Peace

His comments didn't hurt me and I didn't feel so bad about myself. Once again, thank you for reading and reviewing :)

[Malior]

This was good. A lot said in so few words, and something I'm sure more than one of us can relate too.
I will definitely have to read more.

[EileenMarie]

Thank you! I need to get back to writing as it soothes me the most :)

Thank you for your review. I write about things in my life and if it helps someone other than me, I am thankful I did!

You've found a place that welcomes you...

I have found a place where judgement sits at the door. A very welcoming place.

I know this feeling exactly, looking at something like that thinking that it is an escape. And most of the time it very well may be the only escape but have hope and you can find peace in other things, i really love this poem and i hope you find that something some day.

[EileenMarie]

Thank you! I find more peace from writing now!!
