Brandi

Brandi a drink 

that is hard to take

she also is harsh 

just like her name sake

been hurt still hurting 

she lashes out

and with a whisper 

she tries to cry out

not knowing the answers

not willing to listen

with pleas of confusion

she gives us a mission

with words too many

and thoughts too few

she has me pissed off

I think others are too

I have no answers

I don't feel her pain

but I know for her

it is real just the same

inadequate am I

she just brings me down

and since I can't help

I think I'll go now

Have encountered such Brandi--wearing a different label, of course.
Nicely done, Ali.

a double entendre! Indeed a drink that no longer sits well for me..
