put the bottle down
pour it out, throw it away

it’s so amusing how
in one breath
you chastise, criticize

the same behaviors
you so proudly enjoy
you’re oh so *******
you really think you’re tough?

looking down on everyone
from your throne of hypocrisy
as your bloodshot eyes blink, burning
i see you
you’re weaving, waning

if you’re looking for someone
to catch you when you fall
keep on looking, honey; sober up
and keep on looking
for whatever you need to find
cuz you sure as hell won’t find it
