I drank and used to hide from many different emotions. My addiction provided me with a false sense of happiness and a relief from any negative feelings. But slowly I realized that what I was doing was just covering up these emotions and not taking them away. No matter how hard I tried to forget those feelings, no matter how much I used or drank, they were still present.
Each day I wake up
And put on my disguise
Walk around with a fake smile
That never meets my eyes
Hoping one day
Everything will be fine
So I can be done
Living this lie.
