I drink to drink

By beamish

I drink to drink- not to kill the pain 
I drink to drink- not to hide from the day

Quite the opposite - I become the life of the party 

Or so I say

I drink to drink - it's my grown up play

I drink to drink - it keeps my mind on a steady keel 

My feet move free
She is the greatest beauty I've ever seen

I drink to forget- everything I've said 

I drink to forget - what I did in bed

I drink to forget- why I drink to drink

But 

I drink to drink so I have something that I need to forget 

Then I have another reason
 I need to drink

    As someone who used to "drink to drink" every night of the week this totally resonates with me. It took me about a decade to get to a point where I simply "forgot to drink" because it wasn't important to me anymore. But I had a real fuzzy decade in my 20s. Write on!
