In my mind, <br />I was a shark in the water, <br />Deep beneath the listless cold, <br />Testing vibrations <br />While waiting for prey. <br /> <br />In reality, <br />I was all too drunk, <br />Slurring speech, mind, <br />And thought patterns <br />With circuit broken movement. <br /> <br />A funny concept <br />To never quite grasp <br />how you are unintentionally <br />perceived: <br /> <br />The other night, <br />Drunk again: <br /> <br />“Your friends think you’re a piece of shit” <br /> <br /> <br />I always thought I had a way with words. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright (c) David DeSantis<br /><br />David DeSantis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/arrogance-7/
