I Need It

I want to drink.
Its sitting right there.
Taunting me, Calling me.

It would be so easy to take a couple sips
And a couple sips is all I need
To feel it.

Should I drink?
Or remain strong?
Yes?
No.
I’m not strong.
I’m weak.
Can I go a day sober?
I’m pathetic.
I need it.

I want that warm feeling
The burn as it goes down.

Ill feel so much better.
I cant stop thinking about it.

And I give in.
I feel the fire in the pit of my stomach.
Warm and comforting.
