6. A new dawn breaks
The bottle beckons me
The sweetness jumps at my lips
It calls out to me
“Let me give you a hand”
But I know it won’t.
A new dawn breaks
But not for me
I’ve lost it all
Nothing waits for me.
The pool of water
like a portal to tranquility.
Oh! To be at peace
Oh! To end the struggle
A new dawn broke,
I filled myself with lead.

10. Symbol “a new dawn”
to make it seem like the start of a new day brings new
opportunities, when in reality the main character is faced
with a new struggle: that of having to decide whether or
not to drink, and, later on, decide how to end life with the
final new dawn having “broke”.
Personification
to give the tempting bottle the impression of being like a
person, as it tried to coax the alcoholic to drink.
