evidence

inner demons exist in us all and manifest differently…this is my horror and escape…

how many fingerprints on the bottle do i need as proof?
how many wasted nights will it take?
how many sick mornings can i seek solace in?
how many cold tiled floors will i befriend before i learn?
how many forgotten, yet re-discovered, regretful behaviors will i engage in?
how many vomit torn stomachs do i have to sacrafice?
how many fake sleeps can i fall into?
how many self-inflicted injuries can i sustain?
how many times can i allow myself to slip away?
