Hollow soul with a needle

I'm a hollow soul with a needle,  no matter if it's herion ice or crack...I don't have a little monkey, I have king Kong hangin on my back...  Where's my wife and kids these days, what happened to my job...I haven't brushed my teeth or showered in a week, when did I become a slob....I'm a hollow soul with a needle, my own family will I lie to cheat and steal.... Cause all I care about is getting high, just to change the way I feel...So off to the methadone clinic again, can't shoot herion anymore... cause I can't find anymore veins to hit, and my arms are getting sore...I'm a hollow soul with a needle as I lay here feeling so sick... with restless legs and upset stomach, just craving that hollow little prick...Man that's messed up about Brandon and Randy, both of them dying this year....If I didn't catch hepatitis c shooting up, ide probably drink a little beer....So a hollow soul with a needle kids, is this what you really want to be.... Cause it will take your lives to the darkest hell you're eyes will ever see....

This poem was written in the county jail when I was hitting my rock bottom, I have lost my mother, very best friends, and my two older children also there moms to this horrible drug. I just hope maybe this poem reaches someone who is thinking about using, and possibly saves someone's life??
