Drugs and Alcohol
I'm an alcoholic, and it's driving me insane
I'm sick of waking up each day
And suffering the pain
Pins and needles, shakes and vomit
Are with me all the time
I keep trying very hard
To kick this habit of mine
I know i've done it once before
I gave the beer a miss
But had another substitute
And that was Bill Wizz
But then I tried to give up that
Then turned straight back to drink
And now I'm hooked on both of them
My brain can hardly think
Most people say they understand
But I don't think they do
It's an awful thing to go through
And I wouldn't wish it on you
Say NO to drink, and NO to drugs
You be the one who's wise
It took me quite a long time
To finally realize
That i'm an addict, I'm not proud
In fact I'm quite ashamed
So I'm not going to sign this poem
I don't wish to be named.
