Drug Abuse Poem

Poem Of The Pain Living In An Alcoholic Family

I live in an alcoholic family. My dad is the alcoholic. It's like he is two different people sometimes. I feel as if I have no one to talk to at times, and it's really hard when he gets angry at me and gets in my face, screaming, making me feel like everything I do is wrong and pushing me around. So, I wrote this poem to tell people that they are not alone and there is help out there. You just need to embrace it.

The Devil Drinks Alcohol

Behind those eyes,
who would see the pain that lies inside,
secrets she only wishes she could deny.
But don't run away little girl,
don't run away.

When she feels the world doesn't care,
trying to hide beneath her hair,
wondering is she could just disappear.
But don't run away little girl,
don't run away.

Yelling and screaming around her head,
as she excuses herself early to bed,
"Who cares!" they said.
But don't run away little girl,
don't run away.

Walking to school black and blue,
nobody knows what she's been through,
except for he who has done this has a clue.
But don't run away little girl,
don't run away

She's got a jumper, she's got a pillow,
she heads towards that dreary window,
with shattered dreams she has to go,
and leave behind all her woe.

With a single tear down her face,
as she leaves that house as a disgrace.
She's taken her scars, can't you see?
The invisible marks hacked in by thee.

For all those who live in fear,
I'll let you know we are here.
I know you must feel scared and alone,
but we will find you a place called home.

When you cry, don't hide,
because we will be here by your side.
With a listening ear and a helping hand,
we will try to understand
