Poem About The Temptations Of Addiction

The Bottle

Published by Family Friend Poems August 2008 with permission of the Author.

you see the bottle
and don't know what to do
you want some,
but you don't know what will happen to you
your mind says go ahead,
one will be fine
but you know what happens when you cross that line
you keep trying to convince yourself that it will be all right
but you know it will take control,
no matter how hard you fight
your will becomes weaker,
and the temptations start to grow
your resentments are winning,
and your victories are low
you convince yourself it's ok,
and finally give in
another loss for you, and for the bottle
another win
