Do you remember the first time alcohol touched your lips?
A plastic water bottle filled with your neighbors *****
A new taste and smell enter your atmosphere
The warm air wraps its arms around you

Is this what being numb feels like?
Your head clouds
An overcast day has set in your mind

Has everything always been this beautiful?
Has everything always felt so raw?
Your inhibitions are gone
You are free to float as you please
A sloppy smile creeps across your face
You close your eyes

The freedom you craved has been achieved
And now all you want is the safety behind your door
Fireworks go off in the distance
The air turns cold
The sweater you brought is gone

Laying down feels like floating
Mocking waves rock you to sleep
You are unaware of the journey you have just begun
