DEPRESSION FLAVORED VODKA

#OctoWriMo2018

Day 2

One thing I’ve learned about MY depression is that being sober and staying away from alcohol is a MUST.  Alcohol is a depressant. You may feel ok for a short (very short while) but it is short lived and then you are worse off than you were. The best thing I ever did for myself was to get sober.

Depression has it’s own voice. It is a very persuasive voice. It is too risky not to be sober when it starts whispering in your ear.

Let me fill

Your veins

Full of gasoline

Breath my toxic

Cherry Vodka

Breathe into your

Anxious thoughts

I’ll give you

The quiet

Your mind craves

My drinks are

Served silent

This alcohol will

Steal your words

After all you are

Fighting chains

Without keys

And you are tired

Tired of

Hiding tears and

Faking smiles of

This fading life

So go ahead ask

Ask me for one more

One more shot

And then lie back

Look at the sky

And observe your

Heart as it beats

Above the clouds

And watch as the

Lightning screams

Across the sky

Playing tag

With the stars

Oblivious

To your pain

Unaware

Of how numb

To life you’ve become
