I Drink

I Drink

I drink to forget

No not regret

To ease the thought in my mind

Work life, stress that kind

I drink to sleep

Piled on the bed in a heap

It numbs my thoughts

Of family and job and whatnots

I drink to ease the worry

People will die if I hurry

Fatherless children if I do my job wrong

Family in crisis I must be strong

I drink for many a whys

Look at my life you'll give many a sighs

Truth and lies all become one

Without drink I'd come undone

I drink to hide the sadness I feel

The depth of my pain would make others reel

The madness inside must be kept at bay

For if it gets loose someone will rue the day

I drink for too many reasons to name

And in its light I see that life is just a game

A puzzle to be finished a game of the mind

And the only clue there is try to be kind
