The AA Meeting

Self-acceptance

By MeshiaPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I don't want to be here

But according to Society standards

I have an addiction

Look at all these miserable people

I don't belong here

All of them pissed that life

Handed them a fucked up deck of cards

I've accepted my reality

Yeah sure I go to a couple Of parties here and there

Might get faded and not remember half of the night

You call it a problem I call it living

I've been living at the bottom of the bottle ever since I could remember

I rather take comfort in it's poison than the poison of society

These meetings are all the same

Complaining about how they got in this predicament

It's not a predicament it's a choice

I chose my poison

Straight Hennessy No Chaser

The wonderful honey colored liquid

Has seen me at my best and worse

accepted me when none else could

held my hand while teaching me the lessons of life

That first shot swallowed feeling your throat closing in

The rapid fire coursing through your veins allowing you to see reality

Hi my name is unimportant I am not an alcoholic

Keep in mind I said I ain't no drunk

I much rather talk to the bottle then explain myself to nothing ass people
