Just Say No

Why couldn't I see? I must've been blind. Must be deaf too because so many times, I screamed at my self but never listened. And I drug myself, thru drug addiction. I poisoned my body and poisoned my mind. And what's left to show is what's left behind. Everything I own is no longer mine. I haven't just wasted myself, I've wasted my time. Whys it have to be so hard to learn a good lesson? Whys it take a prison yard instead of asking a question. Life's full of mistakes that your supposed to make. Life's full of lessons, you give and you take. I remember way back in elementary school, they said just say no! Drugs aren't cool. But I got a little bit older and decided weeds' not a drug. Why be sober? Hell, started shooting up. Now that's the path I decided to take but look where it's brought me. I'm a living mistake. I've wasted so much of my only life and you can't do it again, you can't live life twice. But as much as I hate myself for doing drugs, I learned a good lesson and learned who I was.
