I cause pain and hurt and regret
I am an alcoholic and an addict
I do things that others can’t forget

I lie I cheat I steal I cause misery
This all I do onto to myself...
I won’t go on blaming others
I’m lost and I need help...

This is me at last coming clean
Finally being true to what I say
I’ve ruined friendships and marriages
I ruin more and more each day

I know I’m a failure in addiction
I realize that I don’t have control
I’m nothing more than a liar
I see now I have a broken soul

I don’t know how to fix me
I’m as lost as I’ve ever been
If I had the slightest inclination
I wouldn’t be sitting here again...

I’m so sorry to all those I’ve hurt
To those I’ve made shed tears
I’m sorry I’ve lied and cheated
I’ve failed to grow over the years

I’ve always fallen prey to my demons
I don’t know how to be any better
I destroy everything I care about
I don’t know how to keep it together

I’m a thief I’ve stolen many things
And some of great importance
I’m a liar and sway around the truth
I always hurt others with this dance

I’m a cheater I don’t give honesty
I make other feel to blame
I’m an addict and an alcoholic
I alone must bare this shame

I’m a fraud a failure a loser
I wouldn’t want me either...
I’m so lost afraid and drowning
In this self created seether

I make mistakes that I can’t stop
Until it’s crumbling down on me
I don’t know to do anything else
But be this failure that is me

My inner self is broken
My brain doesn’t work correct
My soul is a malfunction
I see now I’m a defect...

I am a burden onto others
To those I place upon the shelf
Those that I hold higher than me
I’m so sorry. I just need help
