A Night Off

Lets all take the night off, friends, family, enemies, and strangers alike, lets give ourselves a break, just for tonight. Let the needles pin prick wait for tomorrow, let the bottle age a little, forget the disease, forget the poison in your blood, forget the chemicals in your brain. Put down the blade, don't cut your skin, for wounds on the surface, don't heal the heartache within. Just for tonight, give yourself a break, a break from the sorrow, a break from the pain. Friends, family, enemies, and strangers alike, lets give ourselves a break, just for tonight.
