Drunks Denial

the drunk will continue on the path of denial and accepting the truth is not their style. they can sit at a table and drink a fifth of gin and for them, it is no sin. or they can go out to a bar with people all around get blitzed and fall to the ground. they will stutter and stammer and say they are fine and that all they had was a little wine. they'll slide behind the wheel although 'their face they don't feel'. they'll start the car and then glance around to make sure there are no cops to be found. they'll shift the car into gear of getting caught they have no fear. at times they will start off at a slow pace then they will proceed to race. some will say they need the exhilaration of speed to maintain the high they need. some will say they need to get a 'head'. just so they could go to bed. no matter what excuse the drunk may think or say with someone else's life you do not play. the life you took when you could not see was someone called 'me'. you took my life while i was in my prime 'i was gone before my time'. and that dear drunk is a crime.
