Reaper In The Bottle Poem by Matthew Holloway

Reaper In The Bottle



The drink it subdues
The daemons and sadness
The misery of life
Its easy to become caught
Within its holding claw
To drown in it completely
Become stone washed
A nothingness of self
And bound to it all
It is easier to drink away
Than to face the day
The challenges and hardship
To hide and forget
Is a sip and a gulp away
The drink it brings
Sometimes not all
A reaper in the bottle
