    A poem.....

    Fear of rejection Another beautiful sunny day outside, But inside my apartment i stay and hide, Too many people, too much anxiety, Hoping today will be one of sobriety But once again, as often before, I open the bottle, and begin to pour, Another, and another, till the numbness begins...
