Today I Died

Today I died, 
Heroine needle still stuck in my arm, 
In my mind, 
Its doing more Good than Harm.
Today I died.
With the hopes of getting high, 
But more was in store for me, 
Much to my surprise.
Today I died, 
Along with all my hopes,
But i didn't think of that,
While cooking up the dope.
I watch you all come up, 
One by one, 
My body is numb.
I want to scream, 
To let you know that 'IM STILL HERE,'
But i can't get out anything, 
Not even a tear.
I wish i could take back everything, 
Own up to all of my lies, 
But it is much too late for me, 
Because Today.. I Died.
