My Name

Disappointment
So deep it severs the heart strings.
Pain 
So sharp it cuts right to the core.
Doubt
squeezing out the breath of life.
Confusion
As to the choices made.
Panic's arrows
Piercing the curtain of silence.
Depression
Settling like a shroud of darkness.
Shame
For the person you've become.
Guilt
Because you can't break free.

Alcohol's my name,
Destruction's my game.
