All I have to say is a resounding "Wow" to the wonderful piece you have developed right here. You have some grade A material, and I think challenging yourself was one of the best things that you could do. I thoroughly enjoyed the imagery, contradictions, the allegory, and the metaphors gracefully weaved into your story about something many of us are familiar with and can relate to even though we may not want to. We drink, and pretend that it is to get drunk and not disregard any existential crisis we may be having. The truth of the matter is, we drink because it makes it easier to be happy, something that is difficult to do when sober. Words of an alcoholic there, eh? I don't drink alone though, so I don't actually qualify as an alcoholic ;)

There is a line in which there is an incomprehensible error:

The surrounds, they blur as your effects take hold;
I'm feeling drunk.

I'm assuming you mean "the surroundings", and just forgot the "ing".

ever there SHOULD BE ever-there.

Other than that, I will nominate this and say this is one of my favorites by you! You definitely did blow me away as you promised you would ;)

Also, side-note, your title should be "The Light of Drunk". If you ever don't know the proper capitalization of your poem, this link will help you:

I hope you don't mind me joining the being blown away party, but.... I am also blown away lol

This is incredible. Definitely different than other things I've read. And I very much enjoyed it

A different write here and one I am rather partial to - as indeed I am to a drop of red.
However, that being said, it really isn't always the answer and rarely leaves you with a clearer head the following morning!

Full of metaphors and excellent visuals. A unique and compelling poem. I think on of your best poems yet Milly x

This is full of raw, emotion that's personal. Drinking to help forget when infact it doesn't help us at all and if anything it makes us feel he'll of a lot worse and we wake up with a sore head. I drink often because I tried drinking to forget things before and it did nothing but the sore head lol. A very powerful and uniquely written piece none the less.
Lots of love, Em

Nicely expressed

Wonderfully Penned!!!

This is amazing, really you express so much here. Great write!!

This one blew me away. ..

For a second in time, I forget.
I smile, laugh and experience joy.
The hands of time stand still.
At long last, I am happy;
nightmare free.
The dark has gone
and I am drunk.

^^

I liked it... well done
