Car rides, blowing smoke, ignorance is bliss, so is smoking dope. Keep watch, tuck below. Take a **** you said you'd be right back and i'm still holding this **** in since we last spoke. City lights, plane flights. Breathe some air, keep chill. Take a chill pill just relax, keep still here's some lax. This town overdosed, kids missing found dead. Vision blurry, getting red. Pay attention to the Feds. Their just fiends, they're not your friends. This life I know This life I was drug into Gotta watch yourself, gotta watch your back. They do it for the high, they do it for the cash. Quick to getting your cards stolen for a free stash. Steady steady, think outside the box. They will yank you, yes they're called the cops. Take it easy. Do what they say. Or you'll be in handcuffs, wishing you were praying. Prison is where the dogs go. Jail is where the ****** go. Guns in the Trunk, gloves on my hands. Leave no evidence, I'm not punk. Those around you, will impact your reputation, Those around you may impact your temptation. Bring my bag, bring a change of clothes. Put these on, you're tagging along. The faces and cases of all the **** and it's users. You might run into one while with your folks. Or you might be running from your family to find a **** Don't poke, edits aren't good. Easy to catch a case, hard to come up on a empty parking space It will remain forever, never let you free

The Life We Know
To all my sober friends, If you were one of my friends during my addiction that I left behind please forgive me I am sorry. I wasn't in the right frame of mind I was too focused on my chaotic life, I wasn't available to be there for you please don't judge me based on who I became and what I had to do Some of you may not understand what it's like on Satan's dance floor before the devil found me, remember who I was before Some of you know the combination to unlock the demon's vaults knowing the secret to walk away instead of being in a never-ending waltz To all my sober friends, you possess a strength that I admire some of you found joy in life again, some of you never fell into the fire Just don't blame yourself for my actions, I made my own choices I knew the game, I took the risks and listened to the evil voices I was once that sober friend who was always getting left out I could never grasp what hold the drugs had and what they were all about Embarrassed by the slave I'd become there was only me to blame I knew all this but still I took his hand and walked right into the flame It wasn't a conscious decision it was one that was vexed It was based on who can inflate your ego and where to score next I could ask anyone who's felt the flames to listen to what I have to say But addicts hearts won't listen, they always need to learn the hard way We need proof that it will ruin our lives to the darkest parts of our souls we need to see it with our own eyes, we need to feel the holes We broke our promises that we made and took his hand to dance even though we wanted to rest the devil continued to prance Dragging us through every waltz, tango and two-step when we fall he comforts us like a friend he's always kept All along it was us, we were the ones who needed to let go I hope you never dance with him, i hope you never know I pray you never understand, I pray you see me for who I use to be when I let go of his hand I hope you'll be there waiting for me Hold out a hand for me, be someone that makes the  bad things run and hide not someone that I allow to drag me, be someone who walks beside You give me the hope that I can be strong and let go of the devil's hand there is a better life than dancing to the devil's evil band You're my prayer I say each night before I go to sleep please know that you crossed my mind when I was in too deep I didn't want to be embarrassed, if we didn't talk you wouldn't know if i didn't see you then there would be nothing I had to show I wouldn't let you down like I let myself down every day thank you for being who you are, it's for you I pray Continue being the light because one day I won't be at his command I will see you again even if you choose not to take my hand Even if you're not there waiting know that with your help i grew I hold no loathing towards you, you just did what i could never do It's not the life I wanted, it's one I wouldn't have picked with kind regards, from yours sincerely, your friend the drug addict

If I can’t set free Our love will leave Like my life Addiction ruined everything I’m aware That everything I love turns to dirt took my spirit & happiness Drained out my life Replacing it with emptiness I’m so tired of trying Of running & hiding From the urges to Get High Believing to feel like the 1st Time I’m Tired Of Fighting Battling and dying all times I’m sick of working so hard To fall back each time I’m tired of accepting But yet denying I feel sad sober I feel numb High Both ways I’m hating my life It’s the Of Relapse That I’m losing more hope Breathing . I hate that I’m weak. I’m not strong and Can’t think I hate that I don’t View things Easy I love my love My love is him

Just hate
You are gone, yet everywhere that I touch, breathe, see, with my sensitive eyes and heart. You are gone, Yet we never stop looking. We know you're out there. Each morning we call the hospitals, morgues the jails. You are gone. Day after day we hear nothing. We wonder, we hope, we pray that you are alive. That no one has hurt you too badly through the night. That you've not hurt yourself too much to come back from. You are gone. Yet the shadow of you is here. It is everywhere. Your shadow floats down from the moon light, and at night covers such deep sadness we know then that we miss you beyond the stars. The You that was You..

Shadows
No way to breathe No way to find myself Out of this sorrow of you I hear rumors Sleeping In laundry mats Dumpsers next to the river At night Under freeway passes Alone The **** owns you Knowing you are so vulnerable Breaks my heart Even more I am isolated in your aloneness I am lost in your lost-ness I miss you deeply Yet am afraid Of all you come with How do I find solace When there is none When the silver lining has become tarnished My Sparkle Girl Gone Girl Gone Even if I found you You would deny me You would deny me because I am the voice of reason That you run from I am so very alone in your aloneness

Pain
powder in her nose, drink in hand. head in a faraway land, tears in her eyes. Memories of mumbled goodbyes, heart beats in and out of sync. Relapse with the beat, game with her feet. wispy black hair and loose limps, forgetting everything except the feel of her body, losing control. how could she fall so surely to her rock bottom, when she was with him she was higher than a kite. so why must she say good bye to that high,

High
Gravity seems to cease in mid air, Time began to rewind like the VHS tapes we used to peruse. Lost to the hopelessness of remembering all that was spoken, Still trying to grasp what I was destined to lose, Hungry for that which will fill the emptiness, Clandestine decisions create all the rules. A black hole type of control, I went maniacal and shortly afterward became betrothed; enthroned though alone. The bigger picture will soon unfold, That night on the country road, Driving the whip-it was an evening so cold. Fairy Tales told in the fool's forest sparked Demons perverse and sordid. Fight or flight was being sorted, The plight was horrid, closely courted, Shield and sword defended horror. Pretend to mend the chip on your shoulder, Put up those walls around your border. In short, the more you fake your disposition, The closer your back gets to the corner. Tire tracks in the grass led to the tree line, Screams transcended smoke and steel, Like hot steam rising from a forsaken teapot. I wish facts weren't so ossified, Because the force behind discourse and pride Is hacked, controlled, and lost to time. But truth remains in purest rhyme.

IV: Airbags
today I sat very still the kind where you can almost hear the silence. I could feel my heart alive in my chest. beating. walk on. walk on. walk on. it wasn’t easy I had to crawl to get here. a lot of time spent tip toeing through easily depressing situations I don’t do well with emotional upsets slit wrists like please don’t hurt me palms curled to a fist but I couldn’t seem to escape his body weight some things you just can’t undo unlike a knot tied and pulled tightly straight like a line testing for sobriety I AM NOT linear but you are just like how you think the past shouldn’t bother me and how recovery should be me getting over it all can you really call yourself a professional if you have never walked the line? so. please- try mine.

Walk On
Come touch my soul Cut me open Break my ribs with your bare hands Pure strength Hold my heart Feel it pulsing, beating, in your hands Feel the blood trickle past your fingers Do you like the way my eyes stare up at you? My blue and lifeless eyes The windows into my mind Do you feel better now? You finally have all my heart But look what you had to do Keep it forever Leave me here to rot Leave me here to become one with the earth I dont need my heart anymore. I hope you’re satisfied with me now I’m the perfect dead girl I’m your perfect dead girl
