killer in the shadows addiction poetry

Im 18 years old now been doing for so long,

Im legally an addict sing me a different song,

Its only at the weekend im like every other man,

I’ll sniff it, smoke it, drink it, take any way i can.

When i get older ill knock it on the head, not like it will effect me or see me end up dead.

Im 21 years old now got my first baby due,

Once little one arrives, i know i will come to.

My daughters 3 years old now its only a weekend treat, i deserve to relax a bit and rest my tired feet.

Moneys getting tight now but its all ok. If 9 to 5 dont pay ill find a different way,

Im making lots of money, im age 25, im selling misery for profit ive never felt so alive.

Im laughing making money but my addiction grows and grows, im sniffing all my profit but that’s just how it goes.

Im 33 years old the last few years have been a mess, i got so far at this point but im starting to regress.

I know longer count my money but only my mistakes, i must kick this habit whatever it takes.

Im in intensive care its no longer just the coke, lost my job and family its no longer a joke.

My head is spinning sidewards i know longer want to live. Everyone is take and ive lost all i can give.

My true friends went a while ago im surrounded by scum, i miss my kids, my wife, i miss my dad and mum.

I overdose on everything i take a chance on death, i long for my end and to take my last sweet breath.

I wake up 2 weeks later my head is clear and true i dont want to die i no longer feel so blue,

Ive been given one more chance in life a miracle well and true,

The life i was living is not for me or you.

Money is no god, drugs are not your friend. Family and good friends stay with you until your dying end.
