Trust me, I was there.
I just wasn't as there as I wanted to be.
I didn't want to be there either. There was going way
too far. The Bacardi Sangria didn't do it. The shots of peach Smirnoff Vodka didn't do it either. Not the Stella Artois,
not the Jager, not the fact that I was supposed to shadow my friend and drink
whatever she drank in addition to my own cup. Nope. It was the tequila that did
it, which I completely regret I might add. There is nothing fun about drinking until
you and the toilet become bffs. Feeding the pearly throne your lunch and not
remembering if you even made it to the bowl is not my definition of a good
time. From what I've been told I became a baby. I couldn’t walk and I couldn’t put
a cup to my mouth to even rehydrate. I, fortunately, have good enough friends
that won’t take advantage of me. Regardless, I didn't want to be there.
Tonight, I’ll write for you something beautiful from the corners in which you’ve flung me. My lion-heart is hungry, devouring light-lidded men who dreamt of galaxies. This nucleosynthesis: we are stars and dust, and I am humbled, proud. These secrets are optimistic. This sacrifice: I am offering you the worst and best of me. I’ve forgotten what beauty is, tonight. My wounds are old. Finally, they’re healing and all I can offer is twenty-six sharp letters. I pray they’ll be gentle enough for you.
