Drinking Away

A dark cloud raining ******** on me
When I hear someone I Love
Trample on my name 
And belittle everything I stand for
I wonder if I'd be better off by myself 
Or locked up in a mental ward

The negativity is hard to bare
Especially from myself 
It's why I always keep my emotions 
high up on the shelf

There once was a man
Who made it OK to be me
Even if I felt sad, hopeless or empty
But He has long been gone
Murdered, dead & buried

I wonder if I'll ever be happy again
With who I am & where I stand
Only time will tell if I will stay
No longer drinking my heart away
