Hello Whiskey, it's me again
The burning taste of failure heavy in my throat
Fought with that wonderful amber liquid kryptonite
Here's to being drowned in a failed savior complex
One more sip, one more mistake, one more time I'm wrong
I shouldn't be drinking I can agree with that
but this bottle is something I can't say no to
Fuck the people who keep telling me it's okay
It is not okay to be me and fail so hard so often
So let me drink myself to sleep please, please
Let the amber arms comfort me into oblivion
Taste of sleep and memories I want to forget
Just let me close my eyes and these lips around this bottle

Everyone seeks an escape, what works for one doesn't work for everyone. our escape is ours and at times we on it, other times it owns us and in between we simply exist. Tight

Oh man, the hangover on that level of self-loathing is a real pisser. You did a great job expressing the angst, anger, hopeless despair. You can't find the answer in the bottom of a bottle, but looking makes you not give a fuck.
Good stuff.
Yeah...my husband came home to me sobbing on a bathroom floor. He keeps asking me where the whiskey went but I've no clue. I'm so tired. It all just sucks. Like generally doesn't? This Monday just does. Idk. Sorry

Hey girl, get through what you need to get through. Hang in there. It might not be OK today, but it will be one day.

Sometimes that bathroom floor is where you gain some needed insight/hindsight, .. You pen a very brave, true and human experience, BBG. We've all been there, in our own ways... here's to better days ahead and some healing thoughts and wishes, sent...

Last Autumn I was going through a lot of stress and I went into ABC Liquor and got a bottle of this sweet Irish chocolate rum and downed the whole thing, just enjoyed the warm fuzzy feeling. Mostly I write about memories that haunt me. Your writing is so raw and relatable, it's always something I look forward to.

It's a tough, powerful write that speaks with honesty, fear and courage all at the same time. Yes, we give in to our temptations or addictions, or whatever we want to call them, and yet in the midst of it all, we begin to uncover more about ourselves.
Amazing write. Hope you're doing well.

So embarrassing... This wasn't a good day for me. Not even a good poem. Thank you Wally, it's so messy
