Tell Me, Im Drunk

By emeraldgrace

ive had a couple drinks
but im not yet drunk
im on the verge of tipsy
but not acting like a punk
its strange how philosophical
at this point you can be
and think of all the things in life
that before you couldnt see
i envision my mortality
a dream within a dream
did i have a life well spent
but whats that really mean
is it going to bed
and going to church
listening to the pastor
without wanting to lurch
or working hard
but playing too
am i convincing me
or questioning you
it was hypothetical
really i swear
but admit it youre thinking
please wont you share
for this is the time
inebriations the key
for i wont remember anything
so you can tell me
tell me your secrets
your joys and your lies
free your soul
before your demise
just live your life now
give forgiveness to your past
for this half drunken night
might just be your last

    Being a little tipsy myself at the moment, I really appreciate this. I may be back to comment more, but only if I remember. Anyway, great harnessing of the moment, and the rhyme was fun to read.
