Insecurities rush to my head
as I sip this wine,
luscious blood red
In my veins it crashes into
the thread
of anxieties
That will ultimately lead me
To my death
It flows along like a rapid river
the waters are strong
but so is my liver
It's been down this path
so many times before
Erosion no longer runs its course
The taste a bit bitter
Same as my negative thoughts
They come time and time
again
Until the worries are calmed
It masks what is really going on,
but these sips never could feel
wrong
I'm accustomed to the way
it moves
through my body
I'm consumed
Each drop gets me closer
to my muse
It's drunken me
Binge drinking like a foolish ghoul
I won't stop because someone says
so
I won't stop because someone says
no
Once there's a life in me
I'll pause the sea
but the Damn's only hold out
so long you see
It's become a part of me
a coping mechanism
I hold closer than family
to be fair
They're part of the reason
there is no absentee
In this river's apathy
But quite honestly
I'd go down this path
eventually
It was inevitable
for it's so inviting
Maybe I take it too far,
but it's one of the few things
that excite me
So I'll live each day under the stars
alongside my poisonous river
That leads into my daddy's arms
