This bottle is my baby This smoke is my lady These rhymes are my therapy Need my shades just to see My eyes stay low A soul you couldn't possibly know The word rehab makes me laugh My self-medication helps me with my craft At this point in my existence I lack any sort of persistence It might as well all be gibberish Honestly if I had one wish It would be to never gain my sanity Because I already lost faith in humanity So this craziness keeps me somehow hopeful These substances make me vocal Breaking the levee to let the words cause a flood My own thoughts and emotions boil my blood I could never aptly describe this concept Even after years of searching I'm inept This person isn't even slightly reminiscent Of who I once was and is now so distant I am a shadow a ghost Afraid of what I desire most My effort has only ever shattered me Beaten, broken, and battered me Though silence accomplishes very little I am stuck somehow here in the middle Of constant outbursts and pure withdrawal As is the definition of my constant fall Into depression and anxiety Only worsened by 'sobriety'
