DEDICATED TO THE.AMETHYST.ALCHEMIST FOR HER BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Written on a whim while I was babysitting. Can you tell I've been reading too much Ellen Hopkins?

Disclaimer: I do not own FMA, but I do own my own stuff.


I have never considered myself

an alcoholic.

Or, at least,

I never considered it

to be a

bad

thing.

What could be so wrong

with something that only

dulls the pain,

silences the screams,

makes you forget

how

you

fell

so far?

The satisfying

pop of opening a bottle;

the stimulating

fizz as bubbles rise to the top,

the tempting release

that lay on the bottom,

one which could only be found

if you drank yourself

down,

down,

down.

to discover it.

The bitter taste of a beer

was better than the

after-taste of death.

Parents, teachers, always warn of

losing yourself

along the broken road of

bars

and

bottles.

But whoever said that

it was such a bad thing?

What happens when "self" is something

not worth keeping?

So if you throw yourself into the

d

o

w

n

w

a

r

d

spiral,

you can reach a place

where no one else can find you.

Not any

demons.

Not any

God.


Well, in case you couldn't tell, that was Roy's POV. Drop me a review, why don't cha?

AND ONCE AGAIN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE.AMETHYST.ALCHEMIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
