Willpower Games

by LisaMay

 

Silent solitude’s

thoughts bubble to the surface

as I raise my glass.

Should I drink alone?

Perhaps I will never stop,

once I get started.

In this dilemma,

willpower is my new game.

I’m a good loser.

So I drain the bottle

and gobble the box of chocs.

Under strain, give in.

Yesterday is dead.

Restraint is for tomorrow.

I’ll live for today.

Author's Note:
We need our treats in times of stress. An evening glass of wine is therapeutic. Now that my wine rack is empty, I can't be bothered buying any more. The bottles are too heavy to lug back home up the hill on foot. Anyway, I spent the money on chocolate and FanStory postings.
