WASTING MAN (Original Poetry)

in The Man Cave4 years ago

Standing before the river, Oshimi.
Beneath the overcast sky
Not quite the season of rains
But the sky itself,
Is as much gloomy.
I look down in the water, and
A long face with a vacant stare
Stares back.
Eyes bloodshot
And face unshaven
But what do I care?
Not quite sure why I came to Oshimi,
I turned
Toes staggeringly pointing homewards.
Back in this dirty room
Plops in this tired sofa
And on the table, a bottle and a glass
Of my favorite poison
I used to drink to live
Now, all I do is live to drink.
Deserted, I sit idly.
Family and friends
Even my enemies
All gone!
Who wants to be with a drunk?

Too true. I’ve seen several people that are in this scenario. No one wants to be around a severe alcoholic, it’s no good.

Thanks for sharing, hopefully this isn’t your personal experience!

Noo...It's a friend of mine
