An ode to alcohol

You catch me when i'm falling

but you also tend to be the reason i fell in the first place

You help me temporarily forget that he left

Or that she bitched at me

Or that maybe i don't look the best because i've been crying since one

And my eyes are all puffy and black from the makeup i wore to work this morning

 

You see everytime alcohol and i get together it is never a quiet evening

It's a dance all night

Blare shitty music

And snack on everything in sight

Kind of night

 

You are the one thing that has helped me when a real person cannot

Sure some people will call that a disorder

But i say its fuking great

I'm much more alive after 3 gin and tonics

So thank you alcohol for saving my life before something else could take it
