Say No To Substances

When you partake of substances, the light grows dim/
A spark once divine, now lost within/
The mind, once sharp, begins to fade/
A prisoner of choices poorly made/
Chaos reigns, where order stood/
A life derailed, misunderstood/
The buzz, the high, a fleeting flight/
Leaves only shadows in the night/
Men deceive, diseases spread/
You will wake up not knowing how you got pregnant/
Regretful mornings, words unsaid/
A stolen future, a fractured soul/
A body poisoned, far from whole/
But say no and let your light ignite/
A beacon burning, pure and bright/
For God has crafted you with care/
A temple strong, beyond compare/
Choose the path where wisdom leads/
Plant the seeds of noble deeds/
Say no to drugs and alcohol, stand and fight/
And let your soul reclaim its light/
