Sleepless
I keep waking,
And, in the
Middle of the night
Quaking;
Rum in my limbs,
Shivering,
Shaking;
Whisky-drowned
And simply…
Mistaking;
This li(f)e I live,
Am I not
Simply faking?
And this death
I’m due
Is ever unshaken.

First line of the second stanza says it all. Authenticity can be a bitch sometimes. Brave write.
