Sea of whiskey

Drown me in a sea of whiskey, don’t let me breathe

I don’t want to see the light, you can’t change my mind

Whiskey is my only friend the only option

to see me through this pain called life

I hope and pray for the day to come when my body

will finally be overcome by this sea of whiskey

Life is hard and whiskey makes it better

so give me a bottle of that lovely brown nectar

I don’t need a glass it’s alright I’ll drink straight from the bottle and just sleep here tonight

I’ve worked a thousand hours and dreamed a million dreams but life still found a way to break me

So drown me in a sea of whiskey, and let me be

I don’t want your sympathy, this world is cold and the people are rotten that’s why

I turned to this beautiful drink

I just want to be forgotten

Wow!! ~ this is SO relatable!!.....I think Edgar Allen Poe would go out of his way to leave a comment on this piece..........I honestly believe that there are some souls in human form that are simply NOT made for this reality........ it hurts them to even wake up in the morning and witness all the pain and suffering and wars and bullwhip politics going on in this reality....... and even though it sounds like a cop-out too many....... there ARE some souls that are simply too sensitive for this reality........ and some whisky or rye does help them through the madness of a single day...... many, many, world renowned writers die...... drunk...... under a bridge....... or falling off of one........ cool write........ well conceived and beautifully delivered!!.........ALL STARS........ well done my friend!!.......... peace.....T xo
