Pour It Up

Pour It Up

A Poem by Dominique Lambright
"

Just how you can relate getting drunk to failing in life and getting back up, like T.I said you gotta get back up...lol

"

Pour It Up

 

One cup, two cups, three

All these drinks for free

Pour me another

Drowns the pain like no other

Burns down my throat

Trying to keep afloat

Capturing the surroundings in a blur

Thinking how it all could occur

Mesmerized by all the lights

The club music; and all the fights

Fighting the urge to collapse

Falling into anonymous laps

As I bring myself up enough to get air

I think life is never predictable or fair

How I ended here

I can only imagine and fear

Finding myself kneeling in front of this toilet

Choices in different brackets; I just want to foil it

Getting back on my feet

I contemplate my defeat

I may not have won this battle

But life is an ongoing war; so I will continue to fight battles

Lifting myself up from these mishaps

Just try harder next time so I don’t collapse

And that brings me higher up

So pour it up

Swallow the pain

And move on down the lane

Honest comments, please and thank you. I wrote this with the inspiration of the song Pour it Up by Rihanna. I do not drink, it is rare and I have never been in a club drunk so this is all from imagination and what I have seen on TV that came to mind and I created a poem out of it haha.

This is cool. It's definetely the true, real side of partying. Drinking/partying is so glorified but this poem is what nobody talks about. I like it.
