The Scapegoat

You see me
cocky, scattered
and high when
perfectly sober.
Drawing con-
clusions from
disheveled over-
compensation
makes sobriety
suck. Quite
simply, it does
not clear the air
between us,
never mind our
heads. When
supposition
equals real-
ity it's your
withdrawal,
not mine,
that loses
me in the
end.
