Indulgence of Stupidity?

Why do I take that first sip?

Because after that, well it's all over,

it's just a blur of colors,

and empty laughs,

and bad dance moves.

 

So why do I even start?

I go in knowing exactly what to expect,

I know,

I'm not that **** naive.

 

And it all seems fun,

on this superficial,

drunken,

level.

Until, I have to ***

And I don't want to go all alone,

by myself.

 

At this point, all modesty is out the window anyway,

so if someone comes along,

I don't have to face the reality of what I've done,

what I've become.

But if not,

then it comes down,

hard,

it hits me in the face and

I just feel stunned.

 

I just want to be done peeing!

But we all know that drunken bathroom runs

take the longest...

And it all comes at once,

the guilt, shame, resentment, anger, sadness, a want to stop and change, but even after all of this,

When I get an invitation,

I just can't say,

No.
