You open your second bottle of wine and put a third in the fridge

You come home, put the kids to bed and turn on the tv
You swear you won’t open that third bottle
You see on a chat show the host laughing about how people might go back to pubs in giant plastic bubbles
Everyone laughs
Except you
You open the third bottle and say maybe only a glass
You hide the third empty bottle so no one sees it

Except you
You open the third bottle and say maybe only a glass
You hide the third empty bottle so no one sees it
You put two more in the fridge for tomorrow
Just in case it’s more bad news
You look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself to cop on for tomorrow
You pretend everything is ok
You are heart broken
You are skint
You see zero hope
Just in case it’s more bad news
You look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself to cop on for tomorrow
You pretend everything is ok
You are heart broken
You are skint
You see zero hope
Your government doesn’t think your life or your job is essential
You feel lost
You feel there is no hope
You wake up on the couch.
It’s 3.33am
You pick yourself up and go to bed
You pray that tomorrow it gets better
You go back and check the fridge

It’s 3.33am
You pick yourself up and go to bed
You pray that tomorrow it gets better
You go back and check the fridge
You hide the second empty bottle too
You almost breakdown
You summons your inner warrior and tell yourself to cop on.
You won’t let your kids see you like this
You lie awake in your bed
You fall asleep at 6.42am
You wake up at 7.24am
You get up and do it all again
You almost breakdown
You summons your inner warrior and tell yourself to cop on.
You won’t let your kids see you like this
You lie awake in your bed
You fall asleep at 6.42am
You wake up at 7.24am
