I take the easy way out <br />by routing all of my pain into the bottle <br />that models my life <br />showing the way I grieve <br />and try to make myself believe <br />there is more to life than pain but the only way to relieve <br />the heart ache is to avoid giving trust <br />to anyone because if you believe trust is a must <br />your going to be crushed <br />into the dust that makes the life <br />you strive to keep <br />from falling over the steep <br />edge of depression <br /> <br />which would leave you in a pit of aggression <br />fighting for a way out <br />of the doubt. <br />You have in love of other people <br />for fear that people dear <br />to you will get near <br />and leave you alone <br />to condone the consumption of your pain.<br /><br />Jordan Antrim<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/drinking-the-pain-away/
