I am a mixed drink of contradictions.
My blood runs in two different directions.
One toward poverty,
the other toward power.
They both run out of fuel too quickly.

I am your midnight lover,
made up of hallucinations and desperate
attempts at sanity.
Always falling short of falling in love,
while falling between you and the bottle.

I am a broken record stuck in place;
repeat, repeat, repeat.
Impossible to move on.
Never learn from your mistakes,
just learn to make better ones.
