Know It's Me: Poetry

Addicted

Drugs are an escape.

Drugs are what you want when your fired for being late,

Drugs are what you want when you blew it the first date,

Drugs are what you want when you're stressing, I can imagine,

Anything to numb the pain of being human, you will have it,

You're drug into the depths and now you think you need it daily,

Empty bottles line the bins and every pill you take it scares me,

These drugs will take your life and it will start while you are living,

When you're too deep to stop cause you've been hooked from the beginning,

When that boat starts to rock, begin to knock you off your pivot,

And you look around to see all of your friends and family missing,

World crumbles around you, not the life that you envisioned,

But your addicted, you can't fix it, it's because of your condition,

Blame the world, blame your mom, blame the kids,

Blame the girls and the guys that never gave you a chance,

Blame the stress and anxiety, they're always on your mind,

And unlike your friends and family, they never left you behind,

Blame the dog, blame the car, blame the couch,

I need a hit, I need a drink, another pill down the hatch,

Your full of gas and you are swallowing a match,

You feel like trash, but you are so much more than that,

I try to reach but I cant always help you up,

I know your hurt, I know that you are feeling stuck,

Cause now you're trapped and your relying on the stuff,

I saw the change and I could feel it when we hugged,

Vacant eyes, lost in time, this is not the one I loved,

Another soul that's stole away from us by drugs.
