Second- Hand Punishment
by Christopher Doss (Age: 21)
copyright 04-29-2003


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
When he raises the glass
and drinks the alchohol;
as he consumes this poison-
my soul slowly dies
my life is destroyed
I am the one who is punished

I wake from my dreams
to this uninvited reality
A young life left unexplored
So much dirt
Swept under the rug
leaving a lump
that hurts when stepped on

The shadow he throws is dark,
pressing cold hands
tightly around my heart
Is there no escaping
the future he offers?
Am I doomed to follow
his path leading to emptiness?

Following in sometimes footsteps is harder then making fresh ones, because you mold yourself into something you're not supposed to be. The abuse given through the hands of a drunken person is terrible. Let's hope for the best, and the abuse to stop.

Second-hand punishment comes in various shapes and forms, but the beauty of it is we don't have to follow in its footsteps. Great write, Christopher.

Your poem is so beautiful and sad. :( Alchohol is so icky I don't even know why people start drinking it, it smells bad and tastes even worse.
