I'm a social drinker
I drink whenever I'm around people
Or just prior to a social engagement and right on thru it
I put on a cheerful ruse knowing people will buy it
People are always looking to be sold something
So I sell it
I celebrate.
They celebrate.
We celebrate together.
For a moment in time all is well
Rather all seems well
Though
I'm sure they wouldn't like me if I were sober
More importantly you wouldn't like me if I were sober
I don't like me when I'm sober
Something I wrote a while back. I can now say I'm content with a clear mind

pit stops and pit stains
smiles dyed with coffee
mix ups and fixings
on the road once more

just have to go until you get there
once we've gone then we can stop

sometimes letting go
is the only way to hold on

Cigarette filled lungs
In hell with a smile
Ash covered fingertips
Might stay for a while
