The Addicts Addiction

You go to a party smoke a Little grass. Have a go at mushrooms, Cocaine and hash. A friend says hey do a line Of some speed. This is it, satisfaction Guaranteed. . Let me tell you how it's Going to be. I know because it happened To me. It consumes your soul, You’re a slave. Teetering between here and The grave. You’re a mess you're seen As a disgrace. You’re a victim of Addiction's Waste. You do lines and then Into the vein. Now you’re a rider on the Long black train. Your habit gets expensive I'm sure you're told. It costs more than diamonds And gold. You will swindle anyone for A few bucks. This is how it goes, Your life sucks. It takes time to see the Monkey has grown. No one is around, Your on your own. You have to have a plan Of attack. It's the only way to get The gorilla off your back. You’re a wreck Your stomach is in a knot. Nothing to lose you give It a shot. Emotional, physical and Mental pain. These things make it hard To abstain. There is hope as it's Foretold. You feel the sun no more Of the cold. You will be OK, follow Your heart. Admitting there is a problem It is a good start. Turbo1904?
