"This Prison"
By: Kristen Norsworthy
Freedom has always been something to think about

been caught up inbetween these bars
its been years now
dozens and dozens of bars in this town
and i've been to every one at least a hundred times
i always have to have a drink
and i feel my heart starting to race
and beads of sweat drip down my face
after dizziness and vomiting
my body starts to remind me i'm addicted
and the vicious circle starts its engine again
my kids don't even remember who i am
my wife kicked me out
as soon as she smelled the beer on my breath
not just one night a week, but it was 24/7
i can't get away from this prison
i don't think i ever will
i'll die a lonely drunk man.
