Ode to Alcohol
To the alcohol dissolving my family
Thanks for everything
Thank you for the worry of becoming them
Thank you for pouring out hurtful words
I can’t begin to imagine life without you
You brought me up in a way no one else could
You make me so happy, it’s almost destructive
You have yet to fail at starting arguments
Thank you for being manipulative and toxic
My family is dependant on you
Don’t leave us
My father is your #1 fan
If people like you, you must be doing something right
I hope to be like you someday…
Toxic, Destructive, Manipulative…
Who doesn’t want that?
