Drugged in Vegas

Secrets not lies

By EMKAYPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Chicken drumsticks, deep fried,

no match for a stressed out stomach.

Missed parties are always better when missed.

Redemption for being excluded,

insistence on endless lights and pavement.

Guinness, gin, and a shot of fireball,

horrid cinnamon with an aftertaste of salt.

Sudden burst, mind blown,

before the night is over.

In one moment anything can change.

A night, a mind, a life.

When everything has changed, it is impossible to deal with the impending sameness that saturates the minutes of a day, each same second, penetrating the differences felt in the soul.

One experience, no trust.

And the silence especially deafening,

the silence rings so loud.

Unspeakable secrets, truth.
