jack daniel's
you don’t need a drink
but you pour it anyways.
you watch as it pools
in the bottom of your glass,
grimace as the ice cubes
clink together in laughter
it is mocking you,
this drink,
your weakness humors it.
you swallow it angrily
hungrily
it bites back at your throat
you scoff at the burn
and smile around its relief.
you don’t need this drink
but you enjoy the penance
that follows,
it almost condones
your sins,
you almost forgive yourself
for your failures.
