Shards
I take another long sip
and the bottle is gone.
I shatter it in a fit of rage.
Why is my life so messed up?!
What did I do wrong?!
I shiver.
It's cold and I forgot my jacket.
I'm too drunk to care.
I'm staring up at the sky cursing God.
Then I see a shooting star.
I squeeze my eyes shut around the tears.
And I wish.
I wish for a new life.
I wish for a new family.
I wish for a jacket....
I wish for a new bottle.
Anything that will make me feel better.
I open my eyes.
Through my whiskey induced blur,
I see the shards.
It's late.
I'm cold, drunk, and under age.
I should probably go inside....
