I Don’t Drink Much Anymore, But I Used To.
I would wake more damaged than when I first began the maniacal attempt to self medicate.

I was really quite a lonely person. Maybe that’s why I drank so much. To forget how lonely I really was.
I’d surround myself with unfamiliar faces, meeting people who’d compliment me. And then disappear.
A false attempt to cling on to some sort of admiration. All the while still feeling empty on the inside — so I’d drink more.
Drink to fill the empty cavern in my chest. Drink to sedate my broken and damaged soul. Drink to feel alive —
only to find myself sitting in a dark corner, licking my wounds, still trying to pick up the pieces,
wondering if,
in the morning I would wake more damaged than when I first began the maniacal attempt to self medicate.
I don’t drink much anymore — but I used to.
