Thanks Dax ~ dear alcohol
Man when that liquor kicks in/I feel like a different person/
Like mystique switchin her skin/able to just walk out this prison I’m in/
Kept grippin bottles/quit grippin a pen/kept gettin throttled/kept ignoring friends/
tell myself never drink again/hardta turn around when you can’t get through the bend/
Quickenin my end/sick in the mornin/huggin/the porcelain/til I purge/
Can’t moderate the moderation/thought it heals what hurts/only made things worse/
next buzz became my occupation/ stop this drankin/fore’ you occupatin a hearse/
It’s only myself I’m facing/myself I’m changing/like the changeling/from the first verse/
I deserve to be the me that I recognize/drinkins reckin my life/time this dilemma dies/
My mind I’ll weaponize/not gonna jeopardize/a better life/for a better night/
Your high-voltage, rap-style
Your high-voltage, rap-style expression is certainly a relatable journey for me. I felt like you were writing about an old friend, my best friend for a while, until it became my worst enemy, and I finally felt, as you did, that "I deserve to be the me that I recognize". Well said!
With your resolve, insight and intelligence, I'm sure you'll find the road to freedom.
Enjoyed your very moving, artistic and honest creation.
