Noxious Frame of Mind- Toxic State

My mind sheered me to self-doubt,
led me to procrastination,
missed opportunities

No drive; no ambition 
you destitute my spirit,
you left me wrecked 

Let your mischievous style
gain the best from me,
lost touch with reality

Lost myself worth,
murdered the courage to live
found me in despair

Alcohol became my companion
till it became my foe
drove to multiple personalities

Personalities that took fault,
the fault for my mishaps,
misfortune to inner conflicts
