Hope In Crystal

Stop worrying about me,
you know I can't stop!
I need to do this.
What are you, a cop?

You're just trying to take it away from me!
You're just jealous!
I don't have to rely on you anymore!
You know without it I'm restless.

You can't take care of me anyway!
You know you were never there!
Why are you worrying about me now?
You only give me empty stares!

I know why you look at me like that.
You're just jealous of my crystal.
You say that the meth is killing me.
Don't worry, it's not like I have a pistol.

Wow, This is a tough one to read. Addiction can be so convicing it its lies. and Meth seeks ONLY destruction. Be safe and be well. Joe
