She’s more fun when she is drunk At least…until she’s not Because she’s puking in the toilet And regretting her last shot
She’s more confident when she’s drunk Gorgeous and ready to score Until she looks in a mirror And feels even uglier than before
She likes herself more when she is drunk Until that feeling goes away When she is so far beyond gone That her self-hatred comes out to play
She’s happier when she’s drunk All her issues leave her brain But they all come crashing back at once And cause her so much pain
She likes the world more when drunk It’s filled with so much good Until one little thing sets her off And she hates it all more than she should
She likes life more when she’s drunk Her mind for once feels still Terrified of losing that feeling She soon wants to end things with a pill
But she can stop any time she wants Or so she’d have you believe Because alcohol makes her seem so happy That is, until all her friends leave

Edit: (3/11/17) Alrighty, so I just got a very long message that without going too into details accused me of poking fun at alcoholism with this poem. I would just like to be very clear that this poem was in no way inteaded to make fun of the illness that is alcoholism, and if it came off that way to anyone else, I am truely truely sorry. Words can not express that enough for I very much wished the opposite intent. Alcoholism (and addiction in general) is a very serious illness that I take very seriously. I sinceraly hope that anyone who is struggling with it gets the help they need and those of you who are in recovery, I am proud of you. Stay strong and continue to work towards it <3 Once again, my sincere apologies again to anyone who was offended. Love to you all <3 - Willow-Anne
