My willingness is to scream and cry,
But I can't.
Saying 'shrug' when I want to laugh,
But I can't.
My intention is not to indulge in drugs.
Looking into the eyes of my loved ones,
I want to forget all the sorrows of life.
During the noon of my youth,
I want to go to restaurants and parks,
Marching hand in hand,
And hoping to be the most beloved one to someone else,
But I can't.
Going through the ostentatious world of fashion,
My desire is to adorn myself with new attire,
But I can't.
At daybreak and in the evening, in the world of amusement,
Breaking the chains of a hectic daily schedule,
I want to escape,
But I can't.
Songs, dramas, poetry, and movies,
Everywhere I want to motivate myself,
But I can't.
Against exploitation and negative connotations,
I want to agitate myself,
But I can't.
In the face of penniless victims,
I wish to break the opulence garnered by the wealthy,
And lend a helping hand,
But I can't.
To control my own pocket,
Earn my keep,
I can't.
Being addicted to assumptions of alcohol,
I want to destroy myself,
But I can't.
With the propensity to become a great man,
At the point of maturity,
I wish to do more good deeds,
But I can't.
So, perhaps for that cause,
Disrupting a thousand walls of barriers,
I want to become a drunkard!
Though, as per the measurement of a fully matured person,
I can't be a good person,
Seeing into the eyes of my mother,
I can't swerve my way towards an evil and corrupted bay.
I am... I am... I am...
Abandoning all morality,
Unable to gather the little dare to be a drunkard.

Some of the best men I know are drunks. It's not what goes into the man that defiles him It's what comes out. Good things are coming out of you, I am pleased to note.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I appreciate your perspective on judging people based on their actions rather than their vices. It's true that we all have our struggles and flaws, but it's important to focus on the good that people do and the positive qualities they possess. I'm glad that you enjoyed my poem, and I hope that it resonated with you in some way.
