Erin Soares-Anselmi Poet Rhyme

Death Train

Untitled

Your disease you wear like a badge you have earned
Not caring who you knock down on every blind turn

As you swallow your poison of choice to dull your pain
You have driven the ones closest to you literally insane

Playing Russian roulette with every drink you take 
 Bullets made of pain killers or any other opiate they make 

 You think you have everyone fooled and can keep it a secret
As you hop on the death train holding your final destination ticket

So as you take your ride on the pleasure train to a certain hell
Don’t forget to wave good bye to the ones who will live to tell

Of someone they use to know and now they have lost
Knowing they were willing to save them at any cost.

Your disease now wears you like a badge it has earned
What was once sweet and innocent now has turned

So before you even start with alcohol or drugs of any kind
Just ask yourself is it worth dying for or losing your mind.
