my misery
doesn't particularly like company
but sometimes it likes tequila
tequila makes me sleepy
at least then i can take a break
from thinking
what i want
no one will give me
i need someone else to acknowledge
the reality and horror of this construction
i found a cure
for unrelenting
and unreturned
desire
and friendship
it is misery and hopelessness.
i used to be self-righteous and holy
until i knew better
i listened and heard silence
i'm on my own
where i was hesitant
i want to be bold
self-conscious
i want to be free
but i'm hot
my ankle is chained
i'm rejected
i'm miserable
and i just want to lay on the floor
for a year or two
with a thimbleful of tequila
and straighten things out.
