This is the first poem I have ever written, and it will probably be my last.
I think it explains alot though.
It is just a bunch of rhymes, nothing special, but, I hope you enjoy it.
So here goes:
I'm an alcoholic.
So? Who cares?
Say something to judge me!
Why would you dare?!?
I have mental illnesses.
Alcohol helps me cope.
And when that quits working,
I may turn to dope.
Nobody can change me,
so why even try?
I am who I am,
at least I get by.
Live a day in my shoes,
maybe then you'd see
Why I do what I do
I am ONLY me!
-I-AM-ONLY-ME
I'm not trying to kill myself purposely!
But, if I die young,
at least I had fun!
Okay, so there you have it, my drunken babble!
Tell me what you thought of it!
And Please, no bad judgement.

I actually think your poem is worthy of praise and you might want to try writing poetry while sober! A talent is hovering inside ready to come out!
PS.. I think I asked you this before but are are you the girl on Reba? Just kidding I don't' really think you are but you look like her a lot. Are you related?

Actually, YES, I am the girl on Reba!
No, not really, I don't even know who she is.
I sure hope she's pretty if you say I look like her!
Thanks for the compliment on my poetry!
Have a nice day!

Well, I will have to come back and read this when I'm feeling low about myself.
Thank you for the compliment!

Talking about the outward appearance as I don't know either one of you, yes she is very pretty for sure but according to your picture I would have to say you are the prettier sister!

I like the poem, It is something I can relate to! But I prefer the hash instead of the mash!
Peace, Totty
