Challenge
April is Alcohol Awareness Month. If alcohol has negatively impacted your life, the way it has mine, write a poem that encourages alcohol addiction sufferers to ask for help.
Long
When the long neck is tipped toward me
Glass elegance
A promise of conformity
And acceptance
I will say
No thank you
It's not superiority
I swear
It's just that I have seen
Secondhand
The ripple effects of
Too much to drink
Dependency
The consequence of
Relying on
A slurred high
Until those long arms
Reach out
Pull down
Everyone
With you
Unfailing
Tear-streaked
Every time
