free to drink on my own
all up in my self-pity zone
my feelings won't leave me alone

i wish i could talk to somebody 
i need people to validate me
without others, who am I really

and these drugs
i must have more 
and more to comfort me
i self-medicate, for a terrific temporary
Magnificent Me! Sans melancholy

i wish i could talk to somebody 
i need people to validate me
without others, I don't know who to be

but ... 
self-pity loathes company
People tire of my "Oh woe is me."
