Chapter 8 - Afraid

As I down another bottle,

my drink tastes like water,

I'm not ashamed, I'm just afraid.

And I can't take it any longer

as I sit here in the corner

I'm not ashamed, I'm just afraid.

As I lay here barely sober,

I try to fight the water

runnin' down my face, I'm still afraid.

I'm afraid to be alone

not prepared to be that strong

I can't do this on my own

my emotions get the best of me

yet, you still have faith in me.
