My Life
It is something sometimes I feel inside
I have tried over the years to hide
I thought at one time suicide was the right choice
As I swallowed the bottle of Tylenol I began to rejoice
I thought to myself no more loneliness, no more pain
At this point, I could not ride tall in the saddle like John Wayne
I figured I would really not be missed at all
It was here I hit a brick wall
Now I would not abandon my wife or son
Depression did not defeat me, I've won
I can tell you so much more, if you want to know, please ask
My life is an open drink with plenty more from the Flask
