Waking up in Mexico
One sip of tequila
Was all it took
And scattered memories
When I take a look
As I sit up
Brushing off the sand
Stuck to my face
With my hands
I feel the sun
Beating down on me
I open my eyes
Everything is blurry
As my eyes adjust
To the sites around
I hear waves
Crashing down
Where am I?
What is this place?
How did I get here?
My heart begins to race
Why am I not in my bed?
Instead I see a flag
Green, white, and red
Blowing in the wind
My head
Starts to spin
I reach down
To find my phone
So I called up my friend
“Hey, I think I’m in Mexico!”
