The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

am i still stumbling?

I move through the mornings made of glass.
each step a tremble, each breath a struggle.
the world, 
too loud.

the ground is close, the sky unsure. 
nothing is steady, nothing is pure. 
still, I stagger. 
still, I tremble
still, I haven’t managed to hold it all together. 
so ill continue,
the world getting,
louder
and louder
and louder.

If you whisper the world will have to go quiet to hear what you say. Keep on writing that's how you will find your voice.
