10 to 1

10 to 1

Every single ounce of pain has been met by 10 ounces of alcohol.

DRUNK

Every single ounce of pain has been met by 10 ounces of tears.

SAD

Every single ounce of pain has been met by 10 ounces of weed.

NUMB

Every single ounce of pain has been met by 10 ounces of anger.

MAD

Every single ounce of pain has been met by 10 ounces of bodily fluids.

WHORE

Every single time I react to the trauma, I pay 10 to 1.

DRUNK
SAD
NUMB
MAD
WHORE
Β 

I drank to escape the pain, that led to more pain to be made.
Β 

10 to 1

I cried and cried from the past, the pain seems to always last.

10 to 1

I smoked myself dumb, only to feel okay until I came down from the high.Β 

10 to 1

I resent the ones who could’ve prevented the trauma.

10 to 1

One night stands use to make me feel wanted, not anymore!

10 to 1

Why lie to you or myself, the brutal truth…There’s a relapse around the corner. My childhood demons still have a grasp, they still have some control!

10 to 1

It’s them against me, I must fight 10 times harder in order to survive.

Thanks Tony, it seemed to have strong validation of reminding myself where I was and now miles away where I’m at now. The journey has been long and hard but well worth the results and Poetry has been my compass! I appreciate you my brother.Β
