  I lost someone to alcohol,
  With every sip,
  Our bond lost grip,
  To even hold hands.
  When his hands was filled with bottles,
  deep down my pain bottled.

  I lost someone to alcohol,
  I don’t know why he drunk this monster,
  He said it was like an energy drink,
  But with every sip,
  He couldn’t think,
  Or even remember his hurtful speech.

  I lost someone to alcohol.
  I envied the love he gave to this fluid,
  When the relationship we had was hard to build,
  All the resources diminished,
  because alcohol demanded it.
  Now with every sip
  We drew closer to poverty.

  I lost someone to alcohol
  I wish we could have a connection
  The same way he does during his drinking session
  I miss the days he spoke to me while sober
  But Now with every sip
  Our conversation is over

  I lost someone,
  I lost love, i lost faith, I lost hope
  I lost a father, I lost a brother
  I lost a friend
  I lost to alcohol that became their friend

• V. O. I. C. E

  Speak your heart,
  speak your mind,
  save a soul,
  save a life

  Speak when you feel oppressed,
  speak when you feel depressed,
  speak when your heart is heavy,
  speak when your thoughts are wavy,
  speak when things are right,
  speak when you can’t write,
  speak when things go wrong,
  speak when you feel strong

  When our minds are clogged, our souls are lost,
  This mental slavery survives by what we post,
  What we listen to, to What we watch,
  we no longer hear the tick tocks of the watch
  Nor the ringing bells of the church
  Just like a two way
  Silence can save you or make you take the high way

  Speak your heart,
  speak your mind,
  save a soul,
  save a life………
