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 ,
Your welcome here. .. "lets 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 try to stop but it doesnt last,
I give in as I have in the past.

I think about the price I pay,
And go get high anyway.

Inside it seems Im always crying,
Why do I feel as if Im dying?

Brenda, you pointed out some valid points. This Phrase makes too much sense: ~~~~~I try to stop but it doesn't Last,~~~My question, whats next?
