"Content"

I feel like the poet is content he should be allowed to feel this way. Many people might disagree with me by saying things like " how can someone live like that " and " how can someone be content being an alcoholic and living with whores"

But guess what? Whores are people too! Yes, maybe they aren't they most "decent" people. But they're humans aswell if he neees human interaction he has them. 

Or an aloholic, he's never been around any thing else, he has been exposed to alcohol abuse his whole life. I'm not saying it's a life choice I would make but drinking too much doesn't make you a bad person. It just means you have a problem letting go of a bottle of vodka.

And well he's never had anything else so maybe waking up on a bed without being cut or punched or yelled at, for him is a "win". And yes he might sleep on a park bench, or been in and out of jail but at the end of the day he's never seen anything else. We as humans tend to learn and watch and mimic our surroundings so if all he ever saw growing was physical abuse, yelling, poverty maybe for him that's become normal. But the part that impacted him was the physical abuse and for him not to be abusive is all he needs to feel superior than his father. He isn't hurting anyone. So you know what? He can live  the way he pleases to.

 I can connect to this in a way because I have something similar at home with cleaning my room. My parents say I live in a pigsty and it's crazy how there's so many clothes on the floor and it's unhealthy and gross but guess what I find it okay? I can find everything I need so I feel like yeah maybe my messy room is like the poets alcohol abuse and "undesirable" life style is good for him. Just like the messy room is okay for me because I can find what I need and I don't need to to be freakishly clean all the time like he probably doesn't need to have a perfect life all the time but he's content because it's better than how he was before. His heart is fine, he's not hurting anyone like his father did, so he's alright maybe he has a messy room but he finds everything so he will be okay in the long run.
