I drown myselfe in sorrows,
Or rather in lager.
On a binge again,
Will I live to see tomarrow?
I never drink alone,
But I guzzle to forget.
Hiding in my cave,
Both in mind and home.

Just to comprihend no longer
I chug longnecks night and day.
On a binger, will be over soon.
Must sober up to work,
Earn not enough money,
And change the state
Of bills to beer.
Like Ice to water.
I am in an alcoholic haze
Searching for an ash tray.
Not searching for meaning or truth
Just caring enough to
Put my cigarette out.

Sad, pathetic, but entertaining.
Or is it really?
Just drink to forget,
But I end up forgeting
What I was supposed to do
And think of her all night.
Or, at least until I pass out.
Then I dream of her.
I wake up, daylight,
Out of bed, and grab
My two only friends
By the butt.
Marlboro and Budweiser
Are keeping me company for now.
I know it, but I ain't willing
To stop it,
My life is rather sad.

Alcohol enhances what we truly feel. I rage and cry when drunk so I don't do it much anymore. Wolf, the song " I Drink Alone" by Thorogood comes screaming to life for me here.

Thank you for your replies, but I think I am coping better now, and thank you all for, in part, assisting me in recovery.
