One glass, two glasses, twelve, who's counting?
Dizzy my head and numb it all out,
Can't see straight and all I can feel is sickness,
All that alcohol churning, burning,
Throw some up and replace it again,
Bright lights, loud music, slumped on the floor,
Haul yourself up and drink some more,
Dirty and drunken I think I can dance,
I close my eyes and feel the room spin,
I hear voices like they're underwater,
My legs feel like jelly and my throat like gravel,
Carry on, carry on, another drink from the bar,
Can't control what I do or say,
Another fight with someone,
Into the bathroom,
No one to hold my hair,
They don't want to be seen with me,
Not in this state,
Fall asleep with my head in the toilet,
Bouncer kicks me awake at closing time,
I crawl out into the street,
Still drunk,
Gutter.

First off, the pace is awesome.
Secondly its a really great sequence of events, even the little things like a bouncer kicking you out at closing time i wouldnt think of that, so overall its a great poem and i really feel ive learnt from it
Thanks!
