Dead Thought~

I drink to escape thought
The more I think the less I know
The more I drink the more I show
The pain that I feel inside
The pain that I have learned to hide
Sometimes I may cry, or just watch time pass by
Either way life is escaping me
Each day brings me closer to the end
My life I will wish to mend, but all is too late
Time is over for me….
For with death…
I have a date.
