I Pulled Through

Lying in the fetal position On my bathroom floor Skin crawling, hurting, in pain Yet I still wanted more I craved for more of the crack That had me in this state For myself and everyone who loved me I felt nothing but contempt and hate Still they tried to help me Overcome my drug addiction They tried to make me understand That life is real and not fiction Crack is a messed up chemical It made me feel completely insane It made me not give a darn about My life or anything The first time I used crack I got hooked For me that one tug off the pipe was The only tug it took I allowed crack to take me to a place Where I thought I couldn’t come back from Because I was so very ashamed of Who I’d allowed myself to become I finally understood that getting high was no Longer something I wanted to do - so I made the decision to save my life knowing that This was something that only I could do It was hard as all get out, and long overdue But by the Grace of God I finally pulled through. And So Can You!
