Hatred

I am hatred
i burn like
acid corrosive
i am not a giant
but a worm
that eats through you
slowly
i hide inside booze
intoxicating
so lovely so banal
so loose you can channel
thoughts of yourself 
into me

You'e done
your finished
no out
i clout with
words said
they took years
to grow 
you can't pull free
you must uproot me
and that so carefully

Don't fear
i've got you
i will carry you
to your grave

  2. Lovely and sad, Ron. I love the first stanza. It really spoke to my own experiences with alcohol and my decision to quit drinking this year. Well done :)

  3. Congratulations Quinn. Did you ever watch "Everything Must Go" with Will Ferrell? I love that movie. Based on Ray Carver's short story.
