A Letter from my Drink

Slip into a glass, it's almost Midnight.

Let the music drown out your thoughts and give into the rhythm in hopes of escaping into an illusion. 

Let the sounds fill your mind. 

Give into the drink. You know you want to. 

Let go of reality and disappear into the nothingness that is space... but space is not nothing. The void is filled with planets and stars, comets and asteroids. 

So, grab for the bottle and drink. 

Consume the liquid before it can even fill the air with its scent. 

Whether it is sweet or dry, it doesn't matter. Fight the urge to vomit and feel the alcohol dull your mind.

Lift the glass to your mouth as if to kiss the one you love. It will fill you and drive out all rational... the rational that you so easily hide behind, because nothing makes sense and yet everything has reason. 

Can't you see what lies ahead, and yet you fear the murmurs of those who know no more than you. 

Just dance alone to the music that seems to fill the cavity between your ears.

Let go of your inhibitions while you are sober and live the life you were meant to live, because no matter the struggle of today, it will soon be yesterday.
