Another Side

Addiction

Druggie up, 

late nights. 

Do not save me, 

I like what I like. 

I know I have to fight 

but I cannot waste 

another good high. 

I love it here,

Do not 

mess up my high!

Maybe this is the night

I will not wake up…

Just maybe 

Tonight 

I will die. 

Responsibility 

looking me, 

in the eyes.

If only I had the  

courage 

to clean up this time.  

The drugs tell me a 

different lie, 

When I hit the pipe 

each and every time. 

.

Secrets I am holding inside.

Nobody knows,

I am dying inside…
