- Drugs - Devil's Last Words

Pain and betrayal It is so easy to say: Time will heal all wounds The soul and heart is empty Do not ask me to go ahead A worn out body, but still young Can feel my blood fizz but do not feel alive Hope disappeared Promises were broken Tears Yes, I know Can no longer look you in the eye I have failed Do not deserve your consideration I hate myself and my miserable life One time I was real Now a shadow of myself Dishonest and a disgrace Leave me alone Give me money for my last needlestick 12.07.2013 A-L Andresen :) (2nd place in the contest)

Being drug addicted is a tragedy. Unfortunately, most of them do not feeel guilty for assuming drugs. They are poor people who has lost their mind with little hope to get out. You have tried to express ideal thoughts placing yourself in their mind. Appreciable
