I pop bottles
to let out my emotions
even tho my liver screams out
that that's a suicidal notion
it's healthier to talk
healthier to walk
go for long drives
God knows I tried it all
but nothing seems to silent these cries
...from within
only heard by me
nor do they relieve the pain felt
not only by a broken heart
but deep inside a now hollow soul
I struggle to take control
of my happiness
...my destiny
but the pain is my kryptonite
like darkness thrown into light
it is consuming me
I feel so helpless
unable to fight back
they say time heals all wounds
but in such a critical condition
I can only assume I'll flat-line soon
