I was born tipsy

Like a bouncing putty, I can still bounce.
Look at me, I can dance.
I am not drunk,
Just only a bit tipsy,
I am chemically off balance!

From roses to doses,
They did, they do and are done watering roses with alcohol.
Since I was conceived methanol constitutes my blood and that disturbs my devotion.
She had turned her womb, my temporary home into an ocean of vodka.
From which i was swimming in whisky,
As much as this is risky, I was sleeping on bedrums.
At times I woul'd feel drums booming such that my heart skips beats,
But still pump methanol, my source of oxygen.

She had turned her womb into a savannah biome,
My life was dry but still I survived.

What a beautiful galaxy within which I existed?
Made of Heineken stars conjoined by clip drift ropes,
That kept on drifting and left me tipsy!

Like a bouncing putty, I can still bounce.
Look at me, I can dance.
I am not drunk,
Just only a bit tipsy,
I am chemically off balance!

I wonder if Black label is the reason i am black?
If my birth in autumn would be ascribed to autumn harvest?
Only lucky Brandy is my name, rather than smin off spin.

Like a stranger in his own element,
For my first foot steps I waddled, twisted and turned.
For my first blood test, mother came back in mascara vodka tears
Not because I was positive neither negative but alcoholic.
my blood is invalid, that is the product of the woman in booze.

Like a bouncing putty, i can still bounce.
Look at me, I can dance.
I am not drunk,
Just only a bit tipsy,
I am chemically off balance!

I AM laced with alcohol dreams and liquid emotions.

Well, now I feel a little tipsy off this write laced with alcohol dreams and liquid emotion...

few things I noticed....

a few places you didn't capitalize the "I" not sure if intentional or not.. just pointing out...

"I am chemically of balance!"----did you mean "off" balance?

"My life was dry but still i sirvived."---did you mean "I survived"?

overall, very powerful, raw, real write.. nice job...
