A quick poem I wrote

I know it’s not very good, just wanted to write and see what came from my mind

When my heart beat stops
When my body lays still
I hope it was worth it
Every last drink and every last pill

I’ve always been my worst enemy
Always running myself down
With every substance abuse phase
Jumping in my sorrow, I drown

I wake up in the morning
I try
And I’ll try again
To live a good life
Right till the very end.

I would say this is a good poem. Short, sweet and to the point. Do you like to write poetry?
