“SOBEReignty”

The night is young, the drinks are cold

including the one that i now hold

i take a swig of bitter sweet

a balanced mixture of cold and heat

a bit dizzy now, as i finish my 6th

reaching across the table to grab another drink

time seems to slow on nights like this

it’s perfect, like heaven, like bliss

another joke causes our group to laugh

something about “gym” and other stuff

all that of course at no one’s expense

another perk from having true friends

i’m nearly drunk but i drink still

taking another mouthful almost at will

sure, tomorrow morning I’ll have a headache

and still have the same problems i hate

at least tonight i’m happy, i’m content,

and looking forward to the day we drink again
