The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Old Vineyard

Singing maniacally,
To cover all sadness.
Crying silently,
Wanting to drowned out the madness. 

Hiding quietly,
Trying to mask the pain.
Pacing incessantly,
Careful to not go insane.

A playful attitude,
To shield off any unwanted grief.
The toughest dude,
If you don't think so, I'll bust your f****** teeth.

Babes so young,
Living way before their time.
Every screaming lung,
Hopeless cries, while walls we climb.
