Addiction

A life filled with shadows
a feeling so empty and cold
Lost and lonely
A thought you can no longer hold
Wandering around aimlessly
Reality no longer exsists
you watch your life pass you by
in the end alone you sit
you push away your family your own flesh and blood
the drugs have consumed youj
you have forgotten how to love
unsettled and unstable 
You need to get some help
Life is near non existence on the hand that you have been dealt
blind to your surroundings
Its time to open your eyes
Life is a one time chance
You don't get a second try
while your next fix is on your mind
and your flying through life high
your children are on the side line watching their mother slowly die
how can you look in the mirror, and be happy with what you see
you're wasting  your potential
Is who you are. Really who you want to be?
Your completely self absorbed
your children never asked for life
its time to accept and realize
their future doesn't lie within your pipe

Dreams

Engulfed by darkness, light is darks most fear
Behind closed eyes the truth may appear
I'm taken away to places unknown
Surrounded by vivid visions that wont leave me alone
Traveling through a world of its own
Seeing what you have been blind to information set in stone
Subconsciously aware of what's been hidden
A nights worth of sleep will be forbidden
Dreams can be of any kind
So close your eyes and open your mind
with in your dreams
The truth you find

Back To Life

Overwhelmed by emotion,devoured by despair
Depression takes over, no longer can I hide my tears
Swallowed by confusion, in my heart lies a empty hole
Mislead by your intensions, leaves me searching for my soul,
Drowning in sorrow, lost in the dark
I reach for your hand to bring back the pieces of my heart
Flooded by emotion, despair subsidies
depression vanishes, my eyes finally dry
Swallowed by love, my heart is once again whole
Loneliness is gone, no longer do I have to search for my soul
Lifted by happiness, lost in your eyes
You took a hold of my hand, you brought me back to life
