The GINuine Me

Written at 3 in the morning:)

The GINuine Me

 

I walk out the door

My hands on my face

Oh floor, swallow me

Oh, what a disgrace

 

I cannot believe this

Did I just lose my job?

This cannot be true

Holding back my sob

 

I arrive to me home
Do I live in this mess?

How much more of this?

I cannot take the stress

 

I open the cabinet

My frown turns to grin

Looking right at me

Is a nice bottle of gin

 

I open up the bottle

As I walk to the couch

I turn on the Television

Time to be a grouch

 

As I start gulping down

The beverage of power

Colors dance on the screen

My breath is turning sour

 

I fall asleep and awake

To what’s no way a fluke

Holding the empty bottle

And surrounded by puke

 

This is the exact time

When I begin to wonder

If I like the way I feel now

Is this not another blunder

 

But for me, life is now

I don’t think for later

Just want the pain away

And liver calls me traitor

 

There’s no turning back

I say with feelings mixed

So might as well give up

No way could I be fixed

 

Want to know why it is

That I constantly drink?

I try to forget everything

That I see when I blink

 

And before you know it

I forget why I forget

To forget what it is I know

And I’m back in my net

 

Man, I’m so unoriginal

There’s so many like me

Who find good excuses

To drown in self pity

 

But then what can I say?

I’m not very strong

I choose to surrender

Though I know it’s wrong

 

I know that sounds silly

I am making it seem

Like I’m the only person

That lost hope to dream

 

But I’m not the only one

So I get up and I say

I really want some help

To begin a whole new day

 

I throw the gin to the floor

I jump back as it shatters

A life living to remember

Is what now really matters

 

Hi my name is drunkard

And I’m an alcoholic

Hello, drunkard, they say

Goodbye to gin and tonic

 

I’m loving my new self

I’m glad I’m starting over

God, please give me strength

To forever be called sober
