Slipping Away
Listen to me please she begs do not shut me out
Screaming until she no longer has voice to shout
Hear me! Please do not discard what I have to say
This is important so please do not run away
I feel as if I am falling into a deep and empty hole
This is taking over corroding my very soul
Answers elude me as I search so desperately
Peace no longer comes to what is now my reality
I’m becoming someone I do not even know
I once knew who I was,nothing was just for show
Now I do not know the person looking back at me
There’s someone there in the mirror I don't want to be
This evil substance seems to be in control
God help me to climb out of this drug-infested hole
Dedicated to a special one who grabbed for help and has now been drug free for
sometime~! I am so proud of her.
