Alcoholism 101
by Olivia Weinkeinthey tell me i don't act right when i'm drinking
i drink too much too often too soon
(tonight..)
they say you will become just like Him (my father,
my dad, my friend, my alcoholic) but i say
I have kind eyes
i have strong hands
i am friendly and honest and i love to laugh
(can they laugh, can they find something worth laughing about)
because i can
and
it all amounts to much more than a drink in my strong hand
a kind smile
a friendly gesture
but i am an alcoholic
i am just
an alcoholic.
