Can’t see straight

My thoughts all twisted

Inability to drive

Thank God for driver assisted 

Keeping me in my lane

And keeping me safe

Getting home safely

And keeping th3 faith

The memories I’m erasing

From the night before

For my  relaxation 

Drinking is the cure

To keep my minds distracted

From the pain I face 

Hoping for freedom

From memories retraced

So I can escape 

From my reality

The pain I feel

Haunting me eternally

Every shadow 

And every whispers echo

Avoiding the struggle

I cope how I know

A new adventure 

Of stories unknown 

I drink and I drink

Until my mind is gone

So I can awake 

With a fresh breath

To avoid my darkness 

And ultimately my death

Escaping the demons

I’m downing the bottle

Living my life 

Drowning full throttle
