I Wish Something Would Give

I don’t know where I find the strength to live,

But I know people question my thinking.

I know people think I’m better off sober,

But tonight I feel I’m better off drinking.

Something inside me doesn’t feel right tonight,

But I can’t explain why I’m sinking.

A kiss of hug won’t work for s**t.

It seems my heart is steadily sinking.

I seek the embrace of a coma.

F**k the world and all its glitter.

I want a rest from the politics

And all the things that make me bitter.

A very thought provoking piece. I really felt the raw emotion of the writer. I really liked the last two lines in your poem " I want a rest from politics , and all the things that make me bitter" I think "bitter" is a good word to use when you describe politics now , many people used to have alot of hope in this country .As for drinking I say to each his own , lets be real that's just how we cope sometimes.Great poem.

Instense. Drinking, though. It isn't the answer.
