What Crack Took From Me

A true epic of LadyAnn

What “Crack” Took From Me

 

It started one night

When I caught him cheating

I wished I’d had a knife

To cut him from my life

Leaving him hurt and bleeding

 

Crack was my only freedom

It was a lonely happiness

I felt like I could fly

Reality's sad high

So I melted away into darkness

 

When my family was killed

Crack took over as obsession

It took me down, down, down

To a place I couldn’t be found

See me crawl back out in a new direction

 

It was hard at first

Giving up the truth and share

I have to face it again

But this time I will win

Cuz I’m not alone and people do care.

 

Yes crack took everything inside and out

Made me work to finish my life’s story

Family, life, love was lost you see

Now I cherish the only things left as ME

My words, my faith, in my recovery

 

ALWAYS KEEP THE BEST PART OF YOU ONLY YOURS TO GIVE AWAY!
