Tanned skin.
Glasses filled to the rim.
A bottle of gin.
Faces of friends with a grin.
Food and the sea to swim.
Seems like a win.
So why does my world spin?
Why is my patience hanging off a safety pin?
Why can't I seem to let anyone in?
It feels like I've lost the light within,
and all I can function on is medicine.
