The condensation trickling down the shot glass
Mirrors the sweat saturating my forehead
Mirrors the saliva watering my mouth
Mirrors the tears caressing my cheek
The tinted glass of the seductive bottle
Mirrors the mask I use to hide myself
Mirrors the thoughts becoming less clear
Mirrors the darkness enveloping my mind
The salt and lime that go with the tequila
Mirrors the failed attempts to soothe the pain
Mirrors the distractions I am forced to perform
Mirrors the feeling of numbness I impose upon myself
