Slipping Into the Abyss

I slipped and fell into a dark place,
It's so easy these days.
Slipping under, falling down..
Seeing friends all around.
Drowning sorrows, hiding pain...
At the bottom of a bottle.
Spinning rooms, slurred speech..
Drunk? Nah, I'm just a peach.
A shot here, a beer there.
I don't even like beer...
Not a care of what they say,
I'm slowly wasting away.
Becoming what I hated most.
What I vowed never to do.
And I stumble slowly upward..
How did I become such a drunkard?
My head hurts.
My heart aches.
The answers aren't here.
They aren't in the beer...
I had them all along though.

They never left my side.
I had to open up my eyes and see..
The answers were inside of me.
So no more beer, or vodka too.
I hate beer, why'd I drink that crap?
To fit in, to be cool?
God... I was such a fool.
So desperate to fit in..
To not be looked down on.
I'm going sober now I've found the key...
That unlocks all; It's just me.
