It Takes One!

One injection than your gone
You feel good that it stops
you need more thats what you think
One sip, one snort, one puff, all it
takes is one
you say give me more give me more
i need it
Surely you don't
You want it but you don't need it
But in order to feel all greatness
you have to do it again
Your not just hurting yourself
your hurting the people around you
You lie to make everything to seem ok but inside its not 
Nothings alright
Someone comes up to you and says
I think you should get some help
you get mad and yell
leave me alone I'm fine
But the other day you were asking
them for money but they wouldn't 
give you any cause they new about 
your problem and they wanted to help
Soon enough your on the streets have no money, have no family, have nothing
You get fed by people that feel sorry
for you but you cant eat 
You just want the greatness the drugs
You get your money
You get your stuff
You get skinnier and weaker
Your family you lost sees you on the
side of the road and says
Lets get you some help
You say all i want is money
They say we cant all we offer is 
help getting you clean
You say shut up and walk a way
Two days later you died!
Look what you've done
