Bottom Of The Bottle

(Dedicated To Drowned Sorrows)

I'm tired of this tiring monotonous routine,
The bottom of the bottle never seemed so clean,
My visions getting blurred and my voice sounds slurred,
These are repercussions of all that occurred...

I've accepted the blame but my guilt tastes bitter,
...never once dreamt that I'd be the quitter,
So I'm drowning my sorrow with the money that I borrow,
And I'll probably be repeating this mockery tomorrow...

Alcohol fades cares away so I can be at peace,
My shoulders buckled when the weight increased,
It seemed like fighting a lost cause was senseless,
Now I turn to the bottle when I'm feeling defenceless...

Don't have to face all the mistakes that I've made,
Can forget all the problems, the price that I paid,
Sitting without a care, free in a drunken stupor,
NHS will pump my stomach, I can't afford BUPA...

Hear me laughing, look in my glass and shake my head,
No slowing to break bread, just downing alcohol instead,
No fear, I'm cut off from a world that doesn't care,
My eyes are glazed over cause my mindset isn't there...

Every morning, same cocktail to kickstart my system,
Match the hangover with vodka, now that's my wisdom,
I'm just hiding like a coward from memories I'd forget,
Inevitably I'll confront it but I'm just not ready yet...

a very appropriate ending. i spoke too soon on the style you're usin' to write. haha. well, this is probably the most common reason for the resort to alchohol. using/abusing it to escape. personally, this is my definition of an alchoholic. i would never touch it if i felt like i couldn't deal with my life at the moment, my own personal morals. but that's away from the poem. you described this state extensively. felt like a little narraration, but also not. i enjoyed this piece a little more than the other one, just a little more interestin' with it's structure. anotha nice drop, keep 'em comin'
