Unspoken Phrases

Another Round

If I'm being honest, I'm so scared of being sober,

I don't like having to face reality without my perception being slower,

Because life moves too fast and I'm not too eager to grow older,

Being drunk helps me slow down time so that I can live life before it's over.

Being drunk proves I'll never be the girl who keeps her composure,

But I'm also not the burden that anyone has to drag around on their shoulders,

I'm the one who backs away from anyone who tries to get closer,

And the girl who you wouldn't choose if you had a choice between me and her.

You keep saying you see something in me but I don't think I want that exposure,

I know I'm not moving forward in life, I'm just a pebble you should pass over,

Don't worry about me, I'll pace my shots for the next hour,

Maybe I'll finish this whiskey and search in the bottom of this bottle for some closure.
