Surrender
August 6, 2013
                                
                                
                                Surrender now your bottles
 Broken only at their lips
 Resort to sobered monotone
 To let me know your mouth is shattered, too

                                                                                                                                                        I agree that this poem in particular did not meet up to the theme you have just discribed.

                                                                                                    First off, thank you so much for taking the time to read this and offer your opinion on it. :) I can understand how the poem might come across as vague, and perhaps a different title would help with that. Mainly, I was trying to convey the complicated nature of alcoholics, and how it sometimes seems as if they are more 'themselves' when they are drunk. However, I may not have been successful in doing so. :P

                                                                                                    Does this convers about being sober or something else. Perfect picture but I would have named it "Surrender Your broken bottles"
