Life's Choices

Walking down the hall Smelling drugs, alcohol and weed Wondering why life tends to be this way I know that life's a challenge but that's not an excuse for your actions Turn the corner more weed, more drugs and more alcohol My lungs collapsed in seaing pain Why do you hurt yourselves this way Little boy's who are barely grown Smoke day in and day out Saying that it is just a phase Even now the girls do it too Smoking, hallowering and slowly ruining their lives Saying life is wicked but who are you to criticize life when you don't make it any better I try not to say anything but my heart hurts in sinking sand My nose burns from constant pain They say drugs a devil but still you befriend the devil They say it brings nothing but pain but still it's a tempting demon You can't keep on making excuses Life would always be a challenge All you have to do is face it
