Bound by the liquid

it's masking thoughts and ideas

my actions

this is not me

it's my sickness

my alter ego

fueled by the fear of

the truth pass down

through generation after

I'll climb out this bottle to look at a bright sunny day

i'll climb out this bottle to look at your bright happy face

Eyes clouded

by friendship

you offer no answers

when i bleed out questions

but you can't change who does not want to change

i don't want to change

Frighten by actions

i run to hide

from myself

to numb my feelings

but i can't hide forever

as my liver dries up

the truth has found it's way

to the surface

in a friend's eye
