Drink to your Soul
I fear for your soul more than I fear for your body
To drink this way is naught but a folly
To poison your mind beyond all comprehension
To imprison your life will feed the depression
The dark nights at their darkest will keep you awake
Your soul tainted black and goodness forsake
A corner in life you'll find no solace there
This walk down a path you must be aware
I've been in the lands you describe so well
My friends don't know and I will never tell
You see life is for living and this is just part
My troubles are free but they do break my heart
So drink down another it clearly can't hurt
It calms the thoughts and the pain deserts
But wary be thou it catches you out
Your pain and suffering will become hard to shout
For people won't listen they've told you before
And as life peters out they will close friendships door
So all alone with no one to share
Another drink down to hide your despair
Believe in me this roads not to take
As your life, your family, this surely will break
With so much to cling to just out of your sight
You have to stand up, scream loud and to fight
This journey you now make with the help of Gods will
Is the path you must take, the bitterest pill?
For easy it's not they'll be many a fall
But there's life after hurt a chance to stand tall
Another day will dawn when life falls into place
A happy content person full of airs and grace
It is possible I know, even whilst you're so young
So please my friend, bottle down, it's done.
