Another poem by me.. what do you think of it ?

Stuck

Here I am stuck in this small town

Where there is very little work to be found

I’ll probably be here for the rest of my time

Because of a past horrendous crime

It started with a social drink or two

But then it took off and just grew and grew

I thought I could handle it by myself

Till I took the life of someone else

I was arrested and charged by the local fuzz

And groups like MADD & SADD were all a buzz

They wanted to see me pay dearly for my crime

So the courts gave me the maximum time

So while in prison I sought some aid

And thanks to therapy I’m still sober today

Written by me an 18yr recovering alcoholic

    I love that u are saying what u feel but i think u r taking a shortcut when u say u will be there for the rest of ur time when that's not true. [U took a shortcut for the rhyme. I wonder if that's not part of your behavior issues?]

    Also, I like the honesty that you have decided this is bigger than you, but once again, it reads confusing because in the beginning it sounds like you are out and towards the mid-end it sounds like u are stuck/in the clink forever. How can you be working in a small town and feeling like crap about that and in the clink at the same time? This isn't a criticism, this is an honest question.

    So while I really LIKE a lot of what you are saying and expressing and trying to do here, I am just a little confused.

    Hey, maybe u r 2?

    That's ok!

    I think it's cool u took this step to express...it has made me a different person.

    Don't stop.
