Alcoholic's Cure

Drink the poison in the cup and watch the pain slip away
Drink the poison in the cup, tomorrow will be a better day
But what happens when tomorrow comes and disappoints?
Lift the cup and drink a few sips more :/

This is a very powerful and vivid poem, it really expresses the repetitive pattern of drinking. Well done.

[GunMetal]

Very nice. The last line trails off like an unfinished thought, as it's shorter than the other lines, but it works. Seems to be almost like a verse. Good job.

An never ending battle unless we take the first step
Nice piece well done.

... ah ... that is so inspiring ... what a potent message ... and how brilliantly rendered in such few lines ... you are so skillful and so poetic ... "but what happens when tomorrow comes and disappoints" ... is my favourite line ...

I really liked the first two lines here. Nice work.
