Drink

I've seen you all make your stupid mistakes

I've seen you all fall down

I've seen you when you can barely talk

I've seen you tug off your skimpy top

When you tell me to quickly catch up

I don't see any reason why I'd want

To look like you

Sometimes I drink

Normally I'd rather not

I have to watch out for my friends

When they won't stop

I've held your hair

As you've puked your guts

I've heard you say

Just how much life sucks

And you think that you can drink it away?

I've learned better

I find it easier to deal with shit

Without a hangover

What a novel concept!

God I'm sick

Of you pouring me drinks

God I'm sick

Of you calling me names

God I'm sick

Of the pressure

To relate

To

You

this i can relate to like you would not believe. its nice to know that there are actually other people out there that feel this way. sometimes its a bonus to be one of the few, if not the only, sober person(s) because you can watch everyone make an ass out of themselves, but theres a point when it turns from amusement to disapointment, frustration, anger, astonishment, etc... thats when things suck. its like playing mommy. you might like my poem "thinking and drinking"... just a thought.
