Liquid Courage

Alcohol.
One word ...three syllables.  
I drink, but don’t take any pills.  
  
Alcohol.    
It’s the escape of it all,  
there is this this kind of release it can draw.  
   
Alcohol.  
You say real life... and that thing called reality?
I have confidence and can enjoy without  society’s constant gravity.  
   
Alcohol.  
He has me in love for the night,  
But the next day I’ll be out of his sight.
 
Alcohol.
The energy as we dance,  
but tomorrow look at me and you won’t catch a glance.  
   
Alcohol.  
The excitement and the height,  
Though If I keep drinking I may not be so polite.    
   
Alcohol.    
When choices and intuition are so blurred,  
Fuck did you really do that?  Weren’t  you fucking scared?  
   
Alcohol.  
Will do so many things.  
You’ll never know the side that it can bring.
 
Alcohol.
The good and the bad ,my my...
or is it  because I’m a Gemini?    
   
Alcohol.  
Reminiscent of them  greatest memories,  
 laughter filled with no worries.    
 
Alcohol.
 Brought  some  of my biggest regrets.  
It’s okay because after a while you forget.  
   
Alcohol.  
One word ... and more than just three syllables.

Author's Note
The reflection of drunken nights. And a possible unhealthy relationship with binge drinking that affected my state of mind and how it has shaped me in my 20s.
