Let us drink!
So that we forget our sorrows, and fill the void, and forget that my insides will be destroyed!
Let us drink!
To fill the hollow void with liquor and enjoy a short burst of vigor, an energy for life lacking strife!
Let us drink!
So that I may forget what I have begun to forfeit, my mind full of regret and past sunsets, and so I may no longer feel upset!
Let us drink!
Maybe I can begin to think a way to drink my life away, and succumb to that feeling every day without delay! Sometimes, the skies get so gray I can no longer bear to stay in the way of the sun's rays, life is such a waste!
Let us drink!
The memories don't hurt when you're this drunk.
Let's drink.
So I forget that even when I'm home I feel alone.
Let me drink.
Don't you have anything stronger? I can't I bear this much longer I need to feed the demons inside me, I will cry and wish and plead if that's how it must be!
I will drink.
Until I am no longer hollow. Until I hold no more sorrows. All I can do now, is wait for tomorrow.
I must drink.
I have nothing left. I get no rest. I have done my best. I remember the times in my life where I truly felt blessed. Those days are long gone. Everything I do now, feels so ******* wrong.
I smell rank.
A moment of sobriety and clarity sends me straight back to the bottle, my sadness comes to me once again at full throttle.
I drink.
Because I have forgotten how to live this life when I have nothing left to give.
I am drunk, and I am still sad.
****, that's actually really bad.
I move on the next bottle, like a wandering nomad.
On the path of becoming a drunk
deadbeat
sad
lad.
