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

What Satan said was right Brenda, but, to add to
his advice I say... you need a good man to relax
you all the time and then, to wear you out at the
end of the night and help you fall asleep; but,
who also drinks, takes the meds with you
and does the lines. Lol

Well, we all need someone to take
care of us thoroughly in that regard -
at the end of the day; in the middle
of the night; in the morning; mid
morning; nooner; midday; evening -
whenever we need it.
I like the impromptu ones, where I
just grab her and, throwing her down,
engage in cunninlingus on her until
her eyes roll into the back of her
head and she's screaming for
intercourse, or, vice versa.
Moral of the story though, is that we
need to be ravished sexually all the
time.
I think that that's what Jesus would
do - WWJD - ROFLMAO. HA-HA; just
fucking with you. I'm fucked-up as
shit right now.

I'm gonna have to agree with Satan as well... although a counterpart, can take you over edge as well.

I still bid the herb, it's good meditation :)
Lot's of love to you Crim

Young lady... In all honesty anxiety, I know all to well... teetered on the edge of transcendence, no laughing matter, find yourself perspective... A few beverages in at the moment and acknowledging the demons we all aggregatedly adore.... As humans, we are a fucked up species no wonder were destroying the mother... But there is so much beauty as well... the untapped wealth of our mind, think not a species of another has attained... If open to that concept, we are advanced yet immature as we exist.... Ok that's enough crazy for the moment Mr. Fabulous....

Crim this is so awesome!!....instant add to my reading list..and they don't know SHIT..unless they have severe anxiety disorder like we do and have experienced it they are talking out their ass!!!...and we just do what we have to do to cope and get by....and I practice meditation and it's absolutely WORTHLESS when you are in that place you describe here nor will it take away those afflictions...it's great if you are already in a relaxed state but then there isn't any anxiety there..lol....I would have told the person at the party to FUCK OFF...you are much nicer than I...lol...great write and thx for baring your soul on a subject that still needs much light shone on it...you are a voice for the voiceless..

As someone who may have internalised anxiety for years until it blossomed as MS this has much meaning for me. A wonderfully well articulated piece, thank you.

Sometimes working from 3:00 PM till 7:00 AM, in a Steel Mill, I'd get so wired up from the stress I couldn't go to sleep. I found a little breakfast beer did the trick.

Hullo
eh, grand job lady. tells a good tale, some insight, and wisdom
reads fine, nothing major sticks out. a small thing : for future reference maybe try not have words repeat so close ie 'this' twice in the first two lines. with soooooo many words to choose from it should be handy enough for you
might need to put your answer into " <~
here's something I've noticed myself doing a fair bit :
I was at a family reunion
drinking when I shouldn't be
*on my third when someone asked*
sometimes I start a thought half way through which could cause the line above to confuse things
" when I shouldn't be on my third he asked me "
I suppose, in fairness yours is not all that confusing.
anyhow
chin up, nose down
good stuff, Crims

Re. Drunk 8 am
This piece is raw and edgy. I like the vulnerability and "fuck you all" attitude. Reminds me of Bukowski's shameless ritual pissings in his book "Women."
It's easy for people standing on the outside to hand out advice, unfortunately there's no absolute answer and no easy street... we just need to find our own way to get through the day unscathed.
Great poem, Crim!

Ha! Who said anxiety doesnīt cost a lot of money? Itīs so expensive to have anxiety...
Just to put some humor :)
I used to take meds to sleep as well until i realized that being drunk enough, you donīt need them!
I am off of all these for a long time now and I think that Satanssperm is right.. itīs because i found a good man, lol!
Although I accept that poetry is a huge help ;)
Loved it!
Kiss,

My Beautiful Brenda, family reunions can begin a trickle effect, even when they're not necessarily a traditional family reunion...you get me...unless someone has or is walking in your shoes, ways of coping are not universal and not a one size fits all....keep you chin up lovely one...
I love you so much.
