Pick Your "Poison"


Drugs cannot harm you

Every drug needs a catalyst and that catalyst is you

What were you thinking 

when you were drinking

Did you see the bottle as the enemy?

Or yourself

Every human can be a superhero

or villian

So what will you prey on?

A college degree? A stable home? A job?

Or that next bump or tab or pill

Dangers are all around

but drugs are not the poison

Drugs cannot harm you

Every drug needs a catalyst and that catalyst 

is

 

You.
