Sober now use to drown my feelings
In alcohol drinking whiskey to black out
Use to be fun till it wasn't anymore
Waking up not able to remember
No more waking up hung over
Feeling sick and kept drinking more
Hurting yourself feeling unworthy
Hoping the person would fix you
Destroying yourself hoping to hurt them
Thinking they might care or help
No where to be found left all alone
Looking back not worth it anymore
Focused on going forward with a plan
Learning to express emotions
Told not to be a sissy never understood
Feelings not heard chasing approval
After a while taking back control
Empowered the wrong people
Started to improve things
Gave the power to within
Not giving up on ones self
Learned to say NO set boundaries
Walk away from people that drain
The good and making everything bad
Go where you feel valued and respected
More like minded people with similar goals
