Anotace: A short, raw poem that explores the temptation of alcohol as escape — and the conscious choice to resist it. With stark imagery and honest language, it reveals how pain can’t be covered, only carried.
I understand why alcoholics drink —
to feel better,
to stop the think.
But I won’t be like them.
It’s just a plastic band
on torn-up skin —
it eases the pain,
but the wound stays in.
