Drunken Dream Poem by Katellyne Baker

I lay on the bathroom floor passed out,
as if i haven't gotten any sleep for weeks and about.

Not worrying about time,
though it seemed like a crime.
as i lose all control of my body,
i lose all the what i can to say yes or no, like
losing my very own power,
watching the clock strike every minute that seems an hour.

Attempting to stand up and falling back down,
not able to keep my balance, feeling like such a clown.

Coming home when nobody's there,
hoping to soon feel serene,
because after all,
i'm only sixteen.

A car pulls up on the driveway,
this is my shot to make
my dive into bed way.

Feeling dizzy every time i turn my head or walk,
makes me nervous, i don't even
want to talk.

Trying to sleep mindless
is spinning on the ground,
time to time,
as in the sober world is endless.

Lack of sleep,
lack of mind,
i try to think deep but
i can't keep up whats
behind.
