Njeri Hunjeri Poet Bio

My Familiar Story

We laugh more 
We love each other more 
We are more comfortable with each other
When drunk
When drinking

We may even be more open

We, hiding our demons
With the drink
We, hiding our pains and wounds 
With the drink
We, a family
We put a show 
Its almost like a circus
We play life dangerous
We are dangerous to each other

Ian Jones July 28, 2015 at 10:04 AM We drink to attain our laughing place but the drink negates the laughing place to a bizarre charade. Inhibitions relaxed, judgement goes awry. Succinctly put but very true. Good write Njeri. Hugz Ian Njeri Hunjeri August 8, 2015 at 3:19 AM Yes when we let the drinks take over our minds and lives alot of wrongs happen. Thanx Ian
