Friend or Foe
Alcohol is not you friend
as it often pretends to be,
providing a temporary sense
of artificial glee,
and then before you know it
you’re alone and on your knees,
puking in the toilet
and praying your spinning head
will ease,
but this is not the biggest issue
that your drunkenness will face,
but more the sense of embarrassment
and personal disgrace
at the poisoned words spoken
and previous promises broken,
so the next time you’re
feeling down and fancy a little drink,
just pause for a second
and have a real good think.
