Are Drugs My Friend Or My Enemy

Location

Thoughts of drugs swim through my head

I feel inside some burning lead

Right now im clean but I feel so hallow

I’m finding out how hard reality is to swallow

 

I miss my friends that brought me serenity

They created in me a whole new identity

They made me happy when nothing else could

They were there for me when no one else would

 

How could I love something that ruined my life so

These cravings are hard and they make me feel low

How can I stay away from these drugs that I love

I think I’ll need help from more than what’s high above

 

I want to be happy but how is that possible

I know my last path is really un-crossable

But where will I find this so called joy

I haven’t even felt that since I was a boy

 

I feel hurt and lost without the other me

Even though the other me was not a good thing to be

But nonetheless I still feel sad and gone

Still I have to wake up every dawn

 

And act like the past was never there

Because when I think on it it’s hard to bear

Life goes on and it’s all the same

But every day I experience this like it’s all a game
