Drinking

To drink is an act of defeat.
You are defeated by the weakness inside of you.
The weakness grows by the sip.
It does not feel good to be defeated.

To drink is to give up.
It is to give up on living for one night.
Many people call this a release.
I call it a defeat.

To drink is to be me.
I do not like being drunk.
I am drunk every once in a while.
Everyone is defeated now and then.

To drink is to be reborn.
I am reborn with a hangover.
This makes me stronger.
Being stronger makes me want another drink.

The hangover keeps me from being an alcoholic.

Hangovers are my guiding force to balance.
Right now I cannot balance.

I need a hangover.
