My quality is determined by shelf height,

The higher I sit,

The lighter your wallet becomes,

My lowest quality resides in a well,

But I am by no means water

I know no age,

I know no gender,

Race has no meaning to me,

We are all equal in my eyes,

I welcome everyone with a glass

I take the edge off,

I inhibit your nerves,

Your brain becomes flooded,

My chemical structure is intoxicating, literally,

But I can show you a good time

Euphoria will set in,

You’ll tell me you’re not a dancer,

I’ll tell your body differently,

Familiar mannerisms will flee,

You’ll spot a pair of eyes across the room

You’ll make an attempt to flirt,

I’ll cause your words to slur,

Lucky for you, I inhibit the other pair of eyes as well,

I make boring conversations louder and stimulating,

I make touching a stranger easy

I never decline a dare,

And neither will you,

Invincibility is not only felt in superheroes,

Consequences will no longer haunt you,

Science will be defied, gravity will flee

I slow down you pupils’ dilation and constriction,

Lights will become brighter,

Objects will become fuzzy,

Just trust me,

You can still drive

I’ll allow your words to fly,

You might not mean them,

I’ll allow your fists to fly,

You might wish they didn’t,

Don’t worry, you won’t remember

The next morning I’ll still linger,

People will tell you about our time together,

The pair of eyes will be next to you,

Your fists will hurt,

But so will your loved ones’ feelings

So what if your friends are worried,

They don’t know you like I do,

So what if they beg you to stop,

They only want to control you,

We don’t need them

You are improved by me,

I merely enhance your dull self,

Those around should understand,

You will slowly change,

I will replace the old you

You’ll claim you hate me,

I’ll be banished from your body,

I won’t believe it,

We belong together,

You belong to me
