How Did I End Up Like This

How Did I End Up Like This??

I lie on the cold stone floor
I lie and watch
Watch the needle roll away
Watch my life roll away
How did I end up like this?

I haven’t moved from this spot
I’m stuck
Stuck in a nightmare
Where my only enemy is my addiction
How did I end up like this?

My parents had hopes for me
Now only fear remains
The fear of them losing me
What have I done?
How did I end up like this?

I tried to run
I tried to hide
Nothing worked
If it was only a bit of fun
How did I end up like this?

Now as I lie on the cold stone floor
As I lie and watch
Watch the needle roll away
As I watch my life roll away I ask
Do you want to end up like this?

THINK BEFORE YOU ACT!!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
