Reason For the Drug

the drug wouldn’t condemn them to “hell,” drug was always fair (did not discriminate), didn’t ask for things it couldn’t have, never commented on their hair, always made them feel good, was always right, would be there regardless, be it morning, noon or night, would never play hard to get, would never ask their age, never make them feel like a loser, never leave them feeling upstaged, never forced them to be polite, never wanted them to be fake, always would push their vast experience, never would be dull or a minute late, always linked them to other users, always made them a new set of friends, when they closed their eyes they were quickly far away somewhere else (never had to pretend), didn’t whine & moan like a boyfriend/girlfriend, didn’t bicker like a husband/wife, never got in trouble at school like a meddlesome teenager, never got pregnant wanting help with their life, never wanted support pummeling the rest of the world, never took any wages that didn’t go straight to the veins, never brought on any uncalled for rages, never ended up on the front page & it was always inevitably faithful, it never left looking for another’s bed & most of all it kept the user from putting a gun to their head.
