Lifeline

jacks my name
i used to drink
destroying my body
what did i think
couldn't see the real world
hid in a bottle ,just to be safe
 it was a scarier place
like a ship that's sinking
i was  going down
head just above water
im almost drowning from the inside out
throw me a life ring 
and clear my doubt
you sailed by ,and threw me a line
now out of the water i feel fine
saved my life ,yes you did
stopped me from dying when i was a kid.
thankyou
