A Life Wasted... Poem by chantelle ribeiro

You drown your fears in a bottle
Blocking out reality
You hate your life
All this negativity
chasing them away
those who care
those who share your life
Your own worst enemy
You refuse to compromise
The demons too strong inside
eating up the woman you could be
I watch
devastated
by a life wasted
Remember you were once alive?
Riding high on life and smiles?
Where is that girl
where did she go?
I wonder if you even know...
