i've found solace in substance but don't tell my mom

i want to drink myself into a place no one can reach me i want the room to spin so i can sit still and feel the world moving and cracking and tectonic plates shifting beneath my feet i want to dance to music i don't like when i'm sober i want to feel as beautiful as i feel when i'm drunk every day i want to drink until all i am left with is empty cups and happy hiccups and i want to call my exes and tell them how lucky they were to have me and how bad timing was never a good excuse i want to wrap a telephone cord around my fingers and then my body and i want to feel electricity in my hands and i want the world to spin because i tell it to
