Addiction

You think you're nothing, but you're wrong Moments of weakness make you strong Walking the streets every day Somehow you have lost your way This world can be cruel, it's true You've make it a hurting place for you Wandering around, so out of place A life of humiliation and disgrace Addiction causes so much pain Yet, you do it over and over again Into yourself, that's where you hide Shoot the needle, good-by pride Can't you hear your soul cry It's begging you, to please try Give yourself a chance to live The ignorance, you must forgive Reach out and take my hand Don't you know that, I understand
