Bingo! A failed attempt, first time ever
Is it a great night if it hadn’t put you in melancholia?
No alternative in your mind
Guess I was delusional but we see
Vodka wasn’t helpful in childhood
Tequila ain’t into you, boss
Scotch really made me smile, at last
Not feeling egotistical
I am too lazy to evolve
But let me know a good reason
Still need some solid part of you to hate

I’m so relieved you explained that this wasn’t autobiographical. I was worried! Now I can appreciate what you wrote.

I talk about wine a lot so I guess it’s easy for someone to get the wrong impression. I have published fiction posts from time to time so I am not really worried about it. I also added a fiction tag, just in case. Everyone has been very sweet. x

I guess I didn’t really think about the alcoholism theme, I was just swept away with the melancholy and the “still need some solid part of you to hate”. I’ll watch the tags more carefully in the future. 🙂

Thanks a lot Nadia, but please don’t worry about things like that. I wasn’t sure if it was any good so I feel flattered that you were so distracted by the content.

Always go with the Scotch. Preferably single malt, although any Chivas Regal in a storm…

I’m a wine person, but I’m sure readers will enjoy your suggestion before or after “smoking.”

Nice imagery of getting rejected by different kinds of booze…until you find the one that works for you that night.

Thank you so much. You know, full bodied red wine and champagne have never said no to me. Which is why, I love them so.

I liked the last sentence, “leaving some part of you to hate,” melancholia is something isn’t it?

It is quite a hard road when you’re far from the happy trees.

This is not about me. I’m not an alcoholic.

Oops, I thought the alcoholic was a metaphor for something else.

This poem is a creative presentation. I wanted to see if I could convey the feeling of inner turmoil and loneliness experienced by people who are suffering from addiction. I wanted to do this without putting them down. I hope I’ve achieved that. I wish every recovering alcoholic the very best for their sobriety.

I once tried evolving; it doesn’t work.

I’m glad you tried. From what I read, it looks as if you’re “evolving” at the moment. It’s always a better state to be in. x
