Liquor

Viewer Discretion Is Advised

Why do I drink?

To numb all the pain.

To secure my place, 

with the righteous, the vain.

Why do I drink?

My preferred is whiskey.

I also enjoy wine.

Sometimes I feel risky.

Sometimes, I feel fine

(Man. F**k that stanza)

I drink to forget.

All the struggles

All the fear.

Of opening myself,

Feeling my tears.

I drink to enjoy.

My life, and my friends.

My lonely life,

My caring friends.

Why do I drink?

Because. Why not?

Forget everything.

Including, my thoughts.

I know you read this.

I know that you feel.

Please don't identify.

It only makes it real.

Author's Note

Although I may not take my own advice. Please don't fall victim to alcoholism. It is not worth the pain that it causes in the end.
