Say No
shut it off please go away i cannot write another day
the words control me and my thoughts damage me
one by onr tearing at my dignity
leaving me ashamed at the things i have done
just to get high just to get by
then i'd lie to cover it up cover the truth
the truth of failure of bad behavior
who will be my savior
so pretrified to come clean
so i issolate myself and drift off and enjoy it
slap back to reality is this for real
will i ever heal
sitting here lying to myself
thinking all i want is to get high
this feeling overcomes me of not knowing what to do
i'm quiet so quiet
my eyes are loud they are screaming
my mind is pleading please no more
if only that one blast would last then what would i chase
if only it did not consume me
if only i never tried it and kept denying it
i would chase it
i wish i could just erase it
