Liquor

I start to feel the liquor
coursing through me.


My body becomes filled

with gin and heartbreak.


My eyes getting heavy
and mind getting hazy.


This is the only feeling
I can stand right now.


That out-of-body,
outside-reality feeling.


Because life is weighing
me down right now.


And not being myself
sounds like the only remedy.
