friendship

Do the disco lights 

Empower me or destruct me 

Distract me or contain me 

Suffocating under the influence of alcohol 

Under the illusion that i'm free once again 

They don't solve my problems at all 

In fact they keep em' coming 

Ignorance of all those issues 

I will not pry it open again 

There's no point in me digging up 

What was once buried without any hesitation 

The fire burns everything, even the ground beneath 

I will keep it at the surface, I won't let it get to me 

I'm trying so hard to contain this pain 

Something that comes so naturally to you, it was all in vain

A very good poem, and one that people can relate to. I especially like the closing lines:
The fire burns everything, even the ground beneath
I will keep it at the surface, I won't let it get to me
I'm trying so hard to contain this pain
Something that comes so naturally to you, it was all in vain
Well done and keep on writing.

Whoa, a very beautiful poem there. The state of an intoxicated person has been described wonderfully, Yours Truly. A good sad poem, with nice rhyming in the end. Keep writing.
