Through shades of darkness, arose a world
A mind that got swayed.
The sight of something had him stirred
The dreaded path had been laid.
DRUG it was, a menacing evil
He saw it with his friend.
"Try it once", he said to him
The mind had started to bend.
The needs changed, the wants grew
There was no help on offer.
Having experienced something new
He felt he'd found a coffer.
Indulgence in a vice may be a lot of fun
The exposure may calm the tension.
Like a fierce bullet from a gun
Rattling the inner complexion.
A tightened grip, hard to confront
Misery is what lies ahead.
We need to be more vigilant
To avoid situations we always dread.
It's hard to comprehend what goes through him
He whose life transformed.
Languishing through thick and thin
In a need of being better armed.
A world different, that of addiction
He chose to traverse the path.
A life which seemed to add colour
Made him to bear the wrath.
