![]() Liquid InfluenceA Poem by SmileBig :)
The
smooth and bitterness of the contents in my glass runs down my throat and brings
me to warmth, and
as I drink the magic faster than i should, i’m
reminded of memories before. as I
drink, my
mind and my body become as smooth and clear as
the glass that im drinking from, and i start to forget how to look back, i
start to forget how to move my hands in the ladylike manner that I’m supposed
to, i forget how much i need this drink to bring
me to a place of peace, i forget that everything isn’t even close to
being ok, i forget everything… and
as my refills become faster, and i create more spills on the table, as i
forget where i put my drink in the first place even when its in my hand, as i
wonder about things that i will not remember the next day, and as i cry without tears and
scream in pain without the noise, i
finally begin to feel numb enough. i might not get to sleep until 3am on a
Tuesday night, and i might drink too much of my small fragile
body to handle, but at least… at
least for the time being, i
can smile and it doesn’t have to be fake, at
least i can sleep at night, without lying awake, where my dreams are nothing but nightmares
that came true. © 2017 SmileBig :)Author's Note
