I am a recovering Alcoholic hoping to find scholarship/ financial aid resources geared towards assisting persons in recovery. I have been accepted to the University of Michigan Master’s of Social Work Program for the Fall of 2012~ but currently am living below the “poverty line”.
It started well, the buzz, the fun
All the pain I could outrun
It started well, so free, so cool
Now I’m just a drunken fool
Prisoner, captive, slave to drink
Raise a glass and watch me sink
Burned out on the blackouts
Can’t bear to take one more
I stay up until the liquor’s gone
Then wake up bruised and poor
I’m burned out on the blackouts
This party’s way past done
I pass out with a hundred friends
But come to, yeah, with none
Oh, this pounding in my head
Can’t remember what I said
Might have hurt you, God forbid
Can’t remember what I did
It started well, the high, the thrill
All the sorrow I could kill
It started well, so great, so new
Now I’m burned out, hungover, so blue
Slurring, falling, broken down
Gotta dry out before I drown
