Sippy Cup
false sweetness, a quiet corrupt

Sticky glass on the table.
Innocence lost.
Poured again, and again, endless.
Promises drowning at the bottom.
Your tongue forgets it's poison.
*
Cloth cleans the spill.
Underneath your smile, the pain doesn't fade.
People just call you an alcoholic instead of understanding.
~~~~~~~~~~
Inspired by Melanie Martinez's song, "Sippy Cup".

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Drinking is a strong addiction. Like your poem about it.
Interesting take on the addiction to alcohol as sometimes the addiction stems from childhood issues. Insightful piece.
But I don't understand it's connection to a sippy cup. So sorry 😅😅
