Purple Lipstick

I'm looking bad these days. I put on make up, wash my hair, But something strange shows through. Like the women on the street, Who wear purple lipstick, With a scared look in their eyes. Some carry little dogs, Others talk to themselves. One doesn't want to look to close, Is this what Meth does? I didn't know, Nobody told me, And now its too late. I wear purple lipstick, Like the women on the street.

This is so sad to me, I hope one day you will fight off your addiction as I am paddling the same boat it just looks a little different then yours. Looks are superficial anyway and when you look at what's inside you see the truth and our truth is one in the same, like I said, they just look different! I hope you can one day find healthy happiness, I am trying to find it as well. I send my love, best wishes and good vibes your way!!<3 ;)
