Ode to St. Patrick's Day
I walked around town with friends and family,
Pushing through crowds, drinking a bit of bubbly.
Everyone was happy, enjoying the festivities,
As well as myself, oblivious to future activities.
Drinks of every color, red, green, purple, blue,
So many options, I just didn’t know what to do.
In the end I chose the not so wise rout,
I drank two of each, and then I blacked out.
Next thing I know, I’m at home in my bed,
Aching and moaning, sunlight hurting my head.
A few coherent images flicker behind closed eyes,
But I didn’t believe them, I wanted them to be lies.
More than a dozen horrible acts I have omitted,
For the truth would surely see me committed.
Lies and deceit, these are not strangers to me,
But can I handle this one? I guess I’ll wait and see.
Now it is 5 years later, my spirit is no more,
Bottles hold the answers, but I only find the floor.
I feel nothing, I’m empty, I have wasted away,
And up ahead I see yet another St. Patty’s Day.
Pushing through crowds, drinking a bit of bubbly.
Everyone was happy, enjoying the festivities,
As well as myself, oblivious to future activities.

So many options, I just didn’t know what to do.

I drank two of each, and then I blacked out.

Aching and moaning, sunlight hurting my head.

But I didn’t believe them, I wanted them to be lies.

For the truth would surely see me committed.

And up ahead I see yet another St. Patty’s Day.
