I Needed A Swallow

Pains too harsh to face alone
Fears with causes still unknown
Wished the problem wasn't mine
Grabbed the vodka, poured some wine
Glad to sit and wallow
I Needed a Swallow

Numbness blurred the pain for me
Masked the true reality
Hope began to disappear
No one could be trusted near
My pride had left me hollow
I Needed a Swallow

By asking for help
Not ending it all
By letting them in 
They softened my fall

Friends put back my life in shape
Learned to live without escape
Feelings shared and not denied
Throat built up a lump inside
The tears were soon to follow
I Needed a Swallow
