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.
