Addict
I look in the mirror and what do I see? I see a broken woman staring back at
me. Sometimes it seems that lady luck is not on our side when she deals out
the cards that map out our life. I used to have dreams as big as the sky now all I
can think is, "Where’s my next high?" Though I’ve tried and I’ve cried this wicked life
I just cant leave behind and I feel like I am running out of time. The choices are
clear and its time to take my stand. I either continue on this destructive path or I
take a chance and make a better life of my own. The cards have been laid and
there’s no more time to test my fate. So what do I see in the reflection staring
back at me? I see an addict trying to break free.
