I am honestly too young to drink.
The alcohol fills my throat and has me drowning.
Not from my own intake but by your words .
Your words that hit me like empty bottles .
One too many,
Shot glasses. . .
It stings when it goes down,
And i can't take it.
Your voice changes
Like a sweet lil girl that you wanted me to be.
A drunk man doesn't tell any lies
So I don't lie when i say this,
I see it fills you up.
You go back and forth
"I'll be right back"
And you come back with two friends that
You can sip by the minute,
Yet, I was here waiting.
Does your head hurt yet?
You seem to walk with a twitch in your step.
I laugh out loud but frown inside
The drinks don't look good on you
But I won't tell you.
I'll just listen.
As you tend to tell too much,
lectures and stories.
Some Informational, some truthful, all painful.
Here comes another glass
Raise your hand ,
2 shots please !
And there I am drowning again.
In my own sea of drinks &
Glasses that fall over.
It gets into my eyes and form tears
They don't taste salty, just stings my throat.
Maybe that's why i'm too young to drink.
