Best Friend - Worst Enemy

I found a new friend today A friend to take my fears away It is a friend that you must buy It has a name, its called a high It seems to be the latest style, " You're welcome here, let's smoke awhile. " It turns me loose, it sets me free From the dullness of reality. But sometimes though I start to wonder Does it lift me up or drag me under? The fears it took were only hidden And feelings seem to be forbidden. Now my friend has turned on me And thus become my enemy. I think about the price I pay And go get high anyway. Inside it seems I'm always crying Why do I feel as if I'm dying?

I like this one a lot! I think you should definitely keep up writting! (Just from personal experience) I felt it has been extremely therapeutic as I slowly leave my demons behind me.
