This is who I am

by deeplydesturbed   Dec 14, 2017


Workaholic, insane and crazy
Are some of the words used
On a daily basis, to describe me
From people who are confused

I get up and work two jobs
Barely sleep a wink
And often hit the bottle
Sipping more than the average drink

You’ll find wine in every cupboard
Close to every homely chair
Bottles stocked up in my room
You’ll see them everywhere

I fought long and hard
A battle I can’t seem to win
Maybe I don’t want to
Maybe it’s time to just give in

It’s taken me a long time to realise
This is who I am
I am admitting it to you
As loudly as I can

I’ll shout from the rooftops
With a bottle in my hand

I am a

D
R
U
N
K

If you can’t accept me for this
Then don’t bother wasting time
Save your breath and help others
I’m off to drink my new wine

    Nams, an honest open write, this is who you are and if they don't like it-tough tooties. We have to be true to ourselves and can only be us. I understand this, whatever works best for you-hugs my friend-
