Hiding The Pain Poem by Sarah Shifflet

I'm drinking again, because it seems to be alcohol is my only true friend
It's here when I need it most, it makes me feel better with only a cup or so. However the truth still remains that im simply just hiding the pain.
I'm hiding the fact that my heart is indeed black
people tell me I dont need that, refering to the alcohol of coarse
but thirty bucks says they need to just get off there high horse
They have no idea how I truely feel
they just see an alcholic who doesn't wanna deal.
They think they are better than me, when in reality that's not so
We all have our own pain, theres just doesn't show.
So i'm taking a vow, that from this day on out
I won't always hide my pain
I'll try to deal with this world which seems to be going insane.
