Drug Addiction


Drug addiction.

Do you know it?

Have you ever had an addiction like this?

Probably not for you are too young,

But no one is too young right?

13 year olds will think they're grown hitting the blunt,

Hitting the cigarette,

Opening the pill bottles,

Showving needles into the bareness of their arms.

Feeling themselves float far away from earth,

Filling your lungs with poison,

and swallowing the one thing that keeps you alive 

because if you never found it you would be dead.

You dont swallow enough to kill you,

but just enough to make you feel like your not in hell on earth.
