Drunk 8 am

         
         
drinking a couple beers this morning        
I realize only alcoholics drink early
heard that damn voice again        
you know the quiet one          
that whispers in your ear        
         
asking why?        
         
my only answer was        
I don't like the way my skin feels        
it's an uncomfortable place to be        
         
~        
         
I was at a family reunion        
drinking when I shouldn't be        
on my third when someone asked        
"why are you drinking so much?"        
         
I commented "just taking the edge off"        
replied "I had anxiety"        
he flicked my can        
said "it's all in the way you cope"        
said "I should try meditation"        
         
fuck that I thought        
like it's going to control my psychotic episodes        
or put me to bed when I've been up three days in a row        
no one understands what it's like to live this hell        
         
~        
         
anxiety is a bitch that I've found alcohol to relieve        
meds to keep at the door        
and cocaine to chase all the way home
