How to drown sorrow

First, you wake up.

The sun is in the sky yet again, always there no matter what. So get up. You shine bright in your own way.

Tell yourself today is gonna be a good day, because your you and that's all that matters.

Make a breakfast. Cook something or maybe just cereal. Have a coffee or tea. Whatever wakes you up.

Pick out a outfit, something you love to wear.

Go out somewhere, take a walk or do some errands.

If you don't have plans or leaving the house is to much, just clean up the house a bit. Clean your room. Or arrange some things, spice things up.

Tried to keep up the routine above?

You failed.

Why did you stop? After a week, you never got up from bed. Sleeping in for 5 mins became another hour.

Then your room was messy, all that cleaning for nothing.

Why did you stop?

Motivation was no longer in you. Didn't see the point in cleaning if everything was just gonna get dirty again. Even yourself was slowly getting more un clean, very little showers and teeth brushing.

What about food?

Stopped making breakfast. You weren't hungry anymore. There was no hunger inside you, just an empty hole. Nothing seemed to help fill it though.

Crying was normal now. Sleep was eatheir to much or to little, bills were piling along with mail, nothing matterd.

Remember those friends you had?

They never visted. Maybe they don't care enough to contact you.

But you made a new one,

A bottle of whiskey.

Sipping it burns your throat, and warms your stomach. A sensation of calmness buzzes through your body, the only thing that seems to make you feel anything.

Reality was no more, your in your world.

Where a bottle of whiskey is your friend, and life is just a lost painful memory.

But you never did get the answer to drowing sorrow. Maybe it's just all in your head. You never were sad and this is just a bad dream.
