i woke up with last night laying flat in my belly agitated when i sat up attempting to stretch it out of me released instead violently choking me until it burned my throat bending me over weakening my knees gushing past my teeth splashing to my feet strangly akin to the difficulty i swallowed to trust, finally and the sickness i feel now from betrayal with eyes watery and red i look at my reflection saying never again but knowing that my heart wont allow the bitter taste of this moment to linger into deeply rooted traits of my character now i feel removed jolted and picked apart but like any thriving part of nature i'll keep living to become whole again

especially this part: saying never again but knowing that my heart wont allow the bitter taste of this moment to linger into deeply rooted traits of my character now
i'll keep living to become whole again - like alcohol decreases our wholeness and leaves us less of a person. Funny how sometimes I don't feel "whole" until I've had something to drink (not that I overdo it, I just love a beer when I get home from work).

I loved this; it describes my twenty something identity issues perfectly.

This is a great poem...I love the symmetry between the physical and emotional pain. I can't quote because I really loved the whole thing and how it flowed. Would be a great piece to use for spoken word.
