Her baby came out
But in a haze
As a consequence
Of her drug addicted ways
Seems like
An epidemic now-a-days
With too high of a cost
Its victim pays

Yes she’s sorry
But what ‘s the use
If you ask most
That’s just an excuse
For her poor choices
They might well deduce
But it’s a disease
That causes the misuse

Looking back
She wonders what went wrong
As a matter of fact
That’s an old familiar song
For those seeking pain relief
That  takes too long
For it to acquiesce
The pain’s so strong

People think
Much differently today
Than they did
Ten years ago, let’s say
Accordingly what
They didn’t suspect
In their own families
They’re beginning to detect
