Like Vodka, Like Fresh Water

be it psychological, financial, substance or emotional,

i often compare abuse to heavy alcohol consumption

once you've consumed too much of it,

it's hard to tell the difference

between fresh water and vodka

if you were given fresh water,

you'd probably think its a less potent vodka

his behaviour is a typical example

of "he's too good to be true"

when all have mistreated you,

why is he being different?

if he's different and shows a sign of respect,

does that mean he's too good to be true?

it could be that, like a real scout, he can can see true potential

it could be that he thinks you deserve better,

it could be that he's "God-sent"

to make your life a bit smoother,

or he just believes in treating people fairer,

it could be that he's a "God-send"

to make you realise life is not a ferry

but just like heavy alcohol consumer, he's fresh water

she seems to think he's a less potent vodka

why is he willing to sail rough seas just to be with you?

why is he walking into a lion's den to rescue you,

when he could walk-on-by and live his life he did?

why is he treating you special, if only "okay" can do?

why is he walking into rebel's territory just to free your soul?

but again just like heavy alcohol consumer, he's fresh water

she seems to think he's less potent vodka
