Staying Up

I'm up late over thinking,
Holding myself back from finding a drink and
Chasing away the pain,
Finding happiness when the cup is drained.

I'm lost in an abyss of razors and glasses,
My life is passing by in bright white flashes,
The rubber band lashes,
To take away the pain,
But I know it only chases it away,
For a short time, and then it's back to play.
