Alcohol

I drink
to rid myself
of the reality
I face daily.
When I'm sober
there is a cloud
looming over my head,
but when I'm under the influence,
I can see the sun shine.
No,
this does not happen often,
nor have I become reliant,
but it does
make me feel better
in the moment.
This has not impacted
my life negatively,
and I don't crave
the taste of alcohol.
I just like
being able to be free
from the walls
which box me in.
When I'm drunk,
I'm a happier me
a more confident me,
and I like that person
so much more
than normal me.
