drink again
I sip
And sip
Till i reach the bottom of this glass
Feeling good but it cant mask
How i feel
Not quite at the depths of depravity
But not defying gravity
No floating
Or gloating here
Just quiet tears and reflection
overcoming this depression that i find myself in
Cant stay down but wont go up
Just me and this cup
Terrible twosome
Mouth pressed firmly against its lips drinking deeply
Weeping
Doesnt wipe up spilled milk
But in a weird way it soothes me
Moves me to another place
Somewhere like space but theres less air here
No clear skies
Just clouds
And the loudness of my ideals
Tortured by my internal thoughts and revelations
The solution is not at the bottom of this drink
But tangible thoughts i think as the cup becomes half full
And eventually empty
It tempts me
To drink again
