it is time to admit
i love alcohol

a man needs some sips
to get loose

because
when you get grown up
your mouth gets shut up
as my social skills
they are falling

so all my hopes
funneling into a gold star
until my eyes get closed
and me, get closer
to things
that are not real
but only
illusion
(a very nice one, indeed)

old friends
remember the truth
this is why they are still
friends

new friends
do not know the truth
this is why i have
no friends

this is why
i love alcohol

so i could keep my truth
between
me
and
me
