I wrote this when I was 20...luckily some things have changed for me.

By the Liquor, By the Demons

Deliver me from this state
to which I've been sedated.
By this liquor, by my feelings-
I'm so intoxicated.
Alone is bad for me
and my state of mind.
I fill myself with the past
I wish I'd left behind.
Or is it really what I need
to project to me the truth
that I am not forgiven
for my failures as a youth.
But that was then you see;
I've grown into a man.
I live for those around me
and do all that I can.
I sacrifice anything
to make their smiles last.
Now here I am, intoxicated
by demons from the past.

Be it in the truest form, or a desperate lack thereof, fail not to understand that the inspiration is love.

it was pretty good. the only thing i didn't like so much was the rhyming change. it changed kinda quick and i never saw it return. good work though! i'm glad things have changed.
