Someone help!

Someone help!

I said I would be okay,

But I never really was. 


I said I would be better,

But I couldn't stop falling too far.


It wasn't as if I could help myself,

It was as if I couldn't protect myself.


There were millions of millions,

Thoughts running across my head.


All those possibilities,

All those mistakes coming to haunt again.


So I took the drink,

And let myself stop from feeling.


I thought if only today,

I wish I could stop failing.


I drained glasses after glasses,

Bottles after bottles.

Wish I could have stopped there and then.


My head wasn't mine,

My soul was estranged.

I wish I could let myself be more than a halfhearted fine. 


But today wasn't my day,

And tomorrow didn't want me to stay.


I took the drink,

Watching destruction in me calm

As I took the sip of the warm poison.

Killing my own wits.


It was better if I died,

Both from inside and out.

Rather than live to see myself fade out. 


I took the drink,

I hoped it would become my best friend.


Feeling abandoned,

Feeling forgotten,

Feeling not much of worth.


I took to the bottle,

So I couldn't let myself be alone.

So I could be everything I never was.


I don't know when it became my solace,

I don't know when it became my salvation.


I don't know since when I relied on it so much,

That I forgot my own existence.


I couldn't go on any longer without it,

I couldn't salvage my own self.


What I was,

Was no more a fraction of my degrading mental health. 


I don't want to be this person,

I don't know if I could save this situation.


I am trapped in this habit,

I am trapped in this sickness.


It's a never-ending mileage,

I do not know if I could stop anymore.


I think I am drowning in my sorry self.

I wish I never took the glass in the first place

When I can't stop myself from taking more.


Someone help,

I don't know if I can get away.


I am not being stubborn.

I genuinely have no idea of how to get help.


Someone, please save me from me,

Someone, please stop me from getting another one.


Someone help!
