Personal Obituary

I'm mourning the death of my mental health
Because I've died inside and lost myself
Words used to flow from me, now it's just piss
I drink to distract myself from all that I miss
Drown pain in IPA's, cloud thoughts with bong hits
Yet still cry myself to sleep at night like a bitch
I'm gone, been gone, but don't bother searching
You'll only find remnants of a soul that's been hurting
The rest has dissolved, deteriorated by the cold
I'd rather be gone than rotting, covered in mold
So raise your glass to me, just another broken person
And bid farewell to the smiling girl who loved learning
As we see her consumed by an alcoholic's yearning
But let us find solace in the fact she didn't suffer
For she went peacefully alongside her liquid lover
Understanding the inevitable turmoil to come
Would extinguish her light, she became numb
Her passion for kindness could have kept burning
But with or without it the world continues turning
It's hard to believe that she and I were once one
We seem more different than the moon and the sun
That part of me has died, now there's no looking back
This me will survive despite the light which I lack
