Whiskey was
the medication
used to dull pain
When the bottle
didn't provide
answers
He shared
his agony
an attempt to
dissipate his
misery
Punishment for those
whose pain was not
the same as his
The spread of agony
simply resulted in
unseen scars
Whiskey Scars
The world
couldn't see
my sharing
the lie
