Shots Fired
January 11, 2017
I sit in this empty house,
with only me and the bottle.
I refill every glass with misery,
only to swallow it down again.
Shot after shot I start to
lose myself in a repeated cycle
Help me break out.
Shake me from this demon.
Get me my freedom.
Grab my hand.
Lead me out.
