An Addict No More

I was once a drug addict I was hopeless I had nothing to lose I was thought of by society As a mindless fool It doesn’t matter that addicts Come from all walks of life Someone’s sister or brother Someone’s husband or wife Unfortunately society feels that A drug addict can never change Because they can’t feel or understand The torture or even the pain That a drug addict feels When he’s full of dope When, like society, on him self He’s given up all hope Well… I was once a drug addict who Used drugs every day Thought I’d never stop using drugs Nope, there was no way That is until I hit rock bottom As most addicts will When they’re so sick off the drugs That they’ve lost their will To live!  This is when an addict Makes a choice to reclaim him self Just like I did!
