inebriated emotion

(A poem about losing)

(lonely road: by iamlonglost)

You’re just as drunk

On whiskey

As you are on emotion

And the mixture of the two

Sets violence in motion

But it’s a rage that’s formed

In the shape of self-destruction

And this mental state is a weapon

Forged by past deception

You lost a chess match

But in the process

They built a new inception

And for a while, you’ll look

Like a traitor to yourself

But in the end

You’ll realize

The height that you fell

Wasn’t really that high

But - it doesn’t need to be

It still feels like burning hell

But your skin grew thicker

And your wit did as well
