Why can't my liver filter thoughts like it does with alcohol? It would save me the trouble of all the money I've spent to free myself of bad decisions, There is so much formality within a sober moment, while my drunkenness speaks freely, My brain doesn't erase moments like alcohol does, yet my liver puts up a fight reminding me to think, Fantasizing over an image created by theses slurred and blurred overzealous eyes, I am attracted to bars like teachers are to mls style, and to this day I'm still not sure which one has been more beneficial. Looking down the road of allowing glass, I measured my state of mind to pick my poison, Tequila adds a flower to a withering soul, ***** snuffs out the light where it gets to bold, whiskey fakes the fight with its bros, while gin loosens the bones and wine your emotions, at last we have beer a truth serum more powerful than love, What they all take is feeling, a small price to learning what we see in the refection is really something we refuse to collude with. My liver is always amazed, the amount of control I give to it, whilst the hand with a drink in it stays steady, The other acquires shame, controlled by a freedom of released inhibitions, If I could escape the safety of the dinner lights for the missing love that I thought drive me here, My liver is alone, in the battle, like one soldier who's realized that their command center threw them into a death trap and their enemies are mindless zombies of fallen memories, My toast is not alone, followed by smiles and condolences, significant enough to convince everyone, maybe one more.

The drunk Liver
Why can't my liver filter thoughts like it does with alcohol? It would save me the trouble of all the money I've spent to free myself of bad decisions, There is so much formality within a sober moment, while my drunkenness speaks freely, My brain doesn't erase moments like alcohol does, yet my liver puts up a fight reminding me to think, Fantasizing over an image created by theses slurred and blurred overzealous eyes, I am attracted to bars like teachers are to mls style, and to this day I'm still not sure which one has been more beneficial. Looking down the road of allowing glass, I measured my state of mind to pick my poison, Tequila adds a flower to a withering soul, ***** snuffs out the light where it gets to bold, whiskey fakes the fight with its bros, while gin loosens the bones and wine your emotions, at last we have beer a truth serum more powerful than love, What they all take is feeling, a small price to learning what we see in the refection is really something we refuse to collude with. My liver is always amazed, the amount of control I give to it, whilst the hand with a drink in it stays steady, The other acquires shame, controlled by a freedom of released inhibitions, If I could escape the safety of the dinner lights for the missing love that I thought drive me here, My liver is alone, in the battle, like one soldier who's realized that their command center threw them into a death trap and their enemies are mindless zombies of fallen memories, My toast is not alone, followed by smiles and condolences, significant enough to convince everyone, maybe one more.
All the lines in this poem were written while I was intoxicated throughout last year and while sober I formed then into this piece, thanks for reading
