Somehow I made it
to another year
dancing with all my demons
depression bows
I curtsy
self hatred watches in the corner
alcoholism purrs in my ear
as I melt within its presence
we waltz together
time again
following its lead
my dress flutters
with every sashay
a mirror gleams
and catches my eye
I'm dancing with ashes
of what used to be
and somehow....
it becomes me.
