chaos for a dreamer

by Lauren Singer

he's not an alcoholic
he just loves to drink.

he's not a smoker
he just has to buy a pack
to stop his shaking hands.

he's not obessive compulsive
he just locks the door three times over
and disinfects the handle.

i'm not in love with him
i just don't love anyone else.

i threw a bottle in the water
and i forgot to write the message,

but if i had i would have
asked someone to save me
from myself.

I hate saying this, but I really can relate to this piece. I like the comparisons you make with our excuses, that will eventually bring us to reality. Great read.
