Trying to gain back myself
From all the deseption you have felt
I can only hope you still think about what was
You gave my heart that jolt, that buzz
Have you erased me? Replaced me?
You've defaced me
I bore it all open to you
I showed you all that I've got
have you given me even a second thought?
Dreaming demons is what I've fought
"Anyone I've ever loved I've chased away,
And anyone I've ever let inside becomes too afraid"
Words of a good man
I'm just a punk rawk fan
Scream in my ear
By the way pass me another beer
Alcohol to the end
Is what I turn to in dispair
A lonely girl, her bottle her friend.
Doctors say "Yup soberphobias what she's got"
Depression leaves the soul distraught
My life is a series of blackened days
exactly like the one before
That momentarily break of black you brought is no more

U've probably heard it before but you wont find all the comfort you need at the bottom of a bottle. Though I do know what you feel, as I have felt it and still do. Ive got my 'happiness' but i still have many demons that i fight on a daily basis. I hope you find the strength to battle your demons...this is a very good poem tho so dont waste a talent..

Good poem to relate too-
A bitter kiss upon the lips and the soul-
Drinking will take everything away and give nothing in return-
Find a sober thought and hold on to it with each day that passes-
"Been There and Done That"...

I know how you are feeling and alcohol sounds like the answer just like i think suicide and cutting are my answers but it won't get you anywhere and i hope you learn to get past it... demons are so hard to fight when you don't want them gone..
