I Took Too Much
I took too much
Yet I really needed to
The pain is too great
I just need to get through
If I can make it past the night
Then I can hope for tomorrow
But when my body breaks down
It brings me too much sorrow
I took too much
Just to numb the ache
One had me doubled over
Left in the pain's wake
I feel much softer now
Very relaxed, nice and loose
My words come too easy now
But I could also be that aloof
I took too much
But I'm not shameful
I know my limits now and
I no longer feel awful
I tested the waters
And they felt just fine
So I won't give a fuck
If you think I had too much wine
I took too much
But I didnt overdo it
When you live the life I do
You'll try all kinds of shit
Yet I really needed to
The pain is too great
I just need to get through
If I can make it past the night
Then I can hope for tomorrow
But when my body breaks down
It brings me too much sorrow
I took too much
Just to numb the ache
One had me doubled over
Left in the pain's wake
I feel much softer now
Very relaxed, nice and loose
My words come too easy now
But I could also be that aloof
I took too much
But I'm not shameful
I know my limits now and
I no longer feel awful
I tested the waters
And they felt just fine
So I won't give a fuck
If you think I had too much wine
I took too much
But I didnt overdo it
When you live the life I do
You'll try all kinds of shit

Liv... I felt every word.. Very powerful.
Being of similar mindset that you brilliantly end on. Hold on to that tomorrow.
I say because when I get fucked up I go hard. Some of my writes have been written in the moment, as this one can be interpretated as.
I understand the need to write in the moment..
You are not alone
Sorry if this makes fuck all sense, I'm in the tail end of one, trying to sort my self out, for my daughter. My hope,my tomorrow

Your piece is easily adopted by anyone who has felt those feelings, but were unable to express them as effectively as you have. A "translatable" piece...what a poem of this genre should ideally be.

People who are in chronic pain that take too many pain pills and chase it with alcohol in order to function? I hope so, because that’s the reason I wrote it... thanks for the read and comment.
