Hannah Cherry Poet Free verse

To Drink

I drink and drink
One may call it a bender

I drink and drink
Yet never forfeit

I drink and drink 
But only when there's a true call for it

Oh what oh what would be a true call they cry
Why, not a truer call than death do I reply.

I drink and drink
Yet they do not revive

I drink and drink 
Yet my kidneys do thrive

Oh how I drink
Only when death comes
Do I truly oblige.

Oh how I will drink and drink
And drink again
When nothing left flows
Will I subside
To a simple suicide.

Hannah Cherry February 28, 2026 at 9:53 PM So I am making an edit and please do know I am okay, you are okay, do not go into the light, this is expression not a call to action. Please do not come at me for finding a better finish because drinking along with any intake of intoxicants is a form of self destruction in some way. Okay, we cool, good, thank you for reading and please seek help if you need to. Keep it weird but safe.
