Just Say No
Please just say no
the way you already know
there is no quid pro quo
the process is painfully slow
your mind's altered from seeds you did sow
a withdrawl fit or two you'll throw
your brain's chasis will flitter to and fro
desiring the pleasure-pain once more to flow
you'll quake then tremor for another blow
but over time more resistance you'll show
the residual effect will linger as you grow
new habits you'll need to plant then hoe
when depression tugs and your mind craves another row
remember your barge already scraped that bridge so low
and shipwrecked your life on the shoals of woe
with steadying hands your anchor widely strow
skirting every pirating dealer; now your foe
