Relapsed

Bottle in hand,
I wonder whether this relapse is worth it.

I'm already drained in all ways
imaginable;
everything seems to be going

again and
I wonder if this drink is worth the risk
as I crack the bottle open.

I wish people could see
through my masquerade,
I need help but first,
first I'll finish this bottle
and I'll enjoy every drop.
