Drowning sober

Reichelle Russell

By Reichelle RussellPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

The depth of reality sets in

I’m uneasy in the position

If there were a pool full of rum id wish I was in it .

I wish I wouldn’t wish that

But how do I make it stop

Reality is here and time is running out on the clock .

Iv wasted so much time swimming in temporary numbness

Asking myself every single time

How could you have done this ?

Reality is here

It’s not funny anymore

I wipe away my tears

as I walk along the shore

I refuse to drown along the cascades .

I will overcome the devils juice

These are broken promises I would always say

But this time it’s time to DO.
