Acting Out

Not a care in the world 
Nothing surfaced that day
Just a vision in my head twirled 
My actions left everyone with nothing to say

Pure shock with little value
Keep the change 
I’m half way through 
Two dozen valium

Ready to start the day 
Chapter...oh who knows?
Starring myself 
In this alcoholic play

Starting to wonder if I exist 
Its bliss I seek but pain I find
I focus my glare to tell the difference
But it’s hard to see through this alcoholic mist
