Addicted

To get an all time high To feel good and free with every opportunity Yearning enough just to get by Ignoring the thought of me abandoning my family I had it all, everything But I threw it all away By allowing someone to persuade me Starting off every once in a while to craving it everyday I started to take from my family Next were my friends They noticed things were missing But of all people, they didn't suspected me Months went by And everyone began noticing the signs I didn't have any explanation for my actions Except I did it all for my satisfaction Things began to go bad between my family and I They no longer wanted me around Because they were tired of me and my lies And tired of seeing me tearing myself down That's when I began to open up my eyes I sat by myself, began to think, and realized I didn't need these drugs in my life Cause all I was doing is threatening to end my own life That point was my wake up call It was either that or lose all This is the time when I have to do what's best for me Not only for me but also my family
