Drunk Again

by Marcus Jones

in my opinion
the most used lie other than
"Of course I love you."
is
"I swear I'm never
getting drunk again!"

i know i've used it;
you have too,
after a long night of
drinking that concludes
with being in the throes
of a hangover

yet as we are drinking
we don't remember the
last time we lied to ourselves

Author's Note: i don't know what to say about this one. this is one of those on the fly poems that i do sometimes. it's a little short for my tastes but i didn't have much to say in this one.

I used to always lie to myself. This is just pure truth. No need to say anything else.

I've defintely lied that lie to myself on more than one occasion. You summed up the expirience perfectly

personally, i think 'i was drunk, it doesn't count' is a much nastier lie.

i like this poem, it tells it like it is.

I despise how much I relate to this. So I love it.
