Quick author's note! This poem has nothing to do with me or anything I've gone through. I just wrote about common substances that influence people. Enjoy!
I can hear water drip...drip...drip...
As I pick up the bottle and take another sip...sip...sip...
My life is full of stress and keeps getting tough...tough...tough...
So, to relax I light up this blunt and take a puff...puff...puff...
At the party of the year, and get offered a line...line...line...
Before I knew it, the cocaine was screaming "You're mine...mine...mine..."
Xannies, Addys, Oxy, and E are all just some pills...pills...pills...
But, they've claimed my life and now I see piles of overdue bills...bills...bills...
I search and scour for my next high...high...high...
Even if that brings me to steal, cheat, and lie...lie...lie...
Walking down the street high as a kite, "You need help," someone said...said...said...
But I was too far gone, and that night I ended up dead...dead...dead...
