We all have to daily eat and drink and also **** and ****
there isn't anything else more basic or common than this,
except a vital need to rest and get some adequate sleep
as the rigours of life take their toll on the body we keep.

Let's not forget the all-important function of breathing to stay alive
which depends so much on various conditions for anyone to thrive
and is the main ingredient for every creature's life on this world;
regardless of anything else it determines how well they're swirled.

We also have a need to keep our bodies and clothes clean
as our daily activities produce sweat and odour that is seen
and can be smelt from a distance which isn't very pleasant
making us wonder if a person noticed with is just a peasant.

There is also an inherent urge to love and be loved in return
which is what makes life worth living for those who discern,
and the very curious thought as to why we've been born at all
or the reason for our existence on this planet Earth we so call.

"You are not hard to like"
He said.

But he never liked me.

I can't forget that feeling
Of belonging and comfort
Or that summer fling
That grew like wildfire
From what was intended to be
A serious asskicking
And standing up for her
Who pushed us together
All to willingly
Late night call just to say the
Very first
"I love you"
I was so naïve
And patient
And innocent
I thought you were happiness
Personified
For once in my life I felt
Like I mattered
Then you ripped that away from me
I don't love you anymore
But I won't forget you
After all,
How do you forget someone
You think could've
Tasted like happy?

I wish alcohol was you
So if i ever opened that bottle
It was filled with love and not regret
Because i feel it in my bones with every taste
That I drink for the greater good
For the better purpose
But its just me
And my brain
And i don't know what is happening

I just hoped i was a better person
Or even a better drinker
Cause if i drank love
I could have shared it
I could have given it to the people who needed it

But I don't

It's just me and my brain
