Drink the magic potion, the ice clinks
– the glass no longer half full
Inebriation the goal
– a sport you play so well
Sober realities are never much fun
– when for you
Time wasted is long forgotten
– in your
Respite from the mundane and despair
Allowing you an escape
Choosing to shut it all off
– or shut it out depending on your perception
– either way, your cares fly away
Two or three is never a big deal
– it really depends on the mood
Intoxication
Overwhelming the senses
– poisoning the mind, body, and soul
– a distraction in which over time we both become
Numb and cold.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again.
