Downstairs

I'm downstairs.
Just letting you know, I've hit rock bottom. I'm seeing pink elephants in the room! I'm ingesting a large spoonful of wicked truth serum this morning. I'm heading out soon to locate the nearest 12-step program near my town. "My name is Birdman. and I'm an addict." There it's out. My life starts over this morning. I'll be on my way back from Hell soon. I'm going stop hurting those that I love. I'm going to stop livin' the lie. There I've admitted it to friends and family. I know they've been worried about me. About a month ago my family tricked me into an intervention. It failed. I ran away. I'm ok; I said. They were right! I know that now. Addiction is evil. 
Today is the first day of the rest of my life!
"My name is Birdman, and I'm addicted to... Downton Abbey."
There, I've said it. Are you happy? It's out, for all the world to know. I'm not embarrassed anymore. No more watching it on Sunday nights in a darkened room. I'll be with family with all the lights blazing at 9PM. I might even check out Hulu, and see if I might capture season 4, the advanced English version. I hear it's out there.
My sleep will be restful tonight.
Don't worry.
I'm headed upstairs.
I'm back!

  16. LOL! You and many of my friends. Thankfully, I managed to get rid of mine after only two seasons. My addiction to Game of Thrones is another case altogether.

    Love this composition.
