Drunk Devil Blues.... Poem by Adryan Barnathan

drink up baby
make yourself numb
milk every moment
for the life you've become

you love and extend
all that you are
and feed those around you
who know what what you pour

yet those who have known you
since you were born
try to stop you from growing
so that they feel important

so drink up baby
kill the pain
when you know you've become
the best that there is

yet family falls short
and treats you like trash
when they are the ones
who come up short
