It started with once a week. "Just to calm my nerves" Then twice a week. "Not a big deal." Thrice "I'm fine" Everyday. Twice a day "I'll be ok," you say "I only light up once in a while" Since when dose  five times a day equal to once in a while? "Im not like them" you say But you are Running, Hiding, Pushing it all away, Just like them. Then you stoped hiding behind the smoke. You act happy You pretend you're better Fooling some, fooling yourself, but to me your crystal clear. You're far from better You stopped smoking. But what of those marks? Like rivers up your arm. Paranoid you've become "More" is your only care You'll never catch the dragon You're falling Drowning Dying Outside showing your inner dread The hunger is consuming you Hiding it is no longer an option Your mother is a mess, whose all alone Your father, long dead Friends stopped calling So please wake up We need you I need you So please Kick this addiction Tackle your demons Now I'm starting to drown along side of you I miss you, I need you So please Come home I won't judge I just want you whole again Please... Try again Please... Before we both slip away
