I’m a very successful alcoholic

have you met my wife

 

I’ve narrowed the gap between what I feel and do 

to an inch of my life

 

you’ve probably bought my products

more than a few times 

 

I seduce you at your weakest 

online late at night 

 

it would be lovely if we were all 

sober, sane, and nice

 

but the road to recovery is lined 

with improvised explosive devices

 

yes, I’ve looked in the mirror lately

there’s a lot to admire

 

I think of myself as a sculptor

rather than a painter

 

carving myself out 

one line at a time
