6-Months Over 5-Years

What could have been still haunts me.
Hurting within, but trying not to feel.
The sufferings I let my own eyes see.
The part of my life I’ve tried hard to seal.

A lot would happen within those 6 months.
The things I did, the irresponsible stunts.
All I had built would shatter in an instant.
Everyone I knew’d suddenly become distant.

That night; the consummation of my reproach.
One once revered; now regarded like a roach.
Surrounded on every side by those I once kept close.
I could see no friends; all I saw were foes.

Would anyone remember the good times?
Look beyond my failures? Give me another chance?
I remember trembling as I made my way over.
Perhaps they’d reconsider if I appeared sober?

In an instant, I was public enemy number one.
At that hour, I wished so hard that I wasn’t born.
The condescension, the mockery, the humiliation.
I’d never forget; the helpless feeling, the sensation.

Hear me out as I narrate my story!
Soaked in tears as I remember my lost glory!
What I could have become in 5 years,
In 6-months; fell apart before my peers.
