Painful memories buried within Replaying in the shadows of my mind Wonder if I will ever begin To understand why I got left behind Searched for answers in vain Looked for something to hide the shame I surrendered to the pain One shot and I was never the same Beautiful became my sadness At just the thought of the needles ***** Trapped in a warped sense of madness I became all kinds of sick In a nightmare I became lost Submerged in a hopeless reality I paid the ultimate cost When I chose drugs over my family Dreams came crashing to the ground Without my family I lost all hope So it was operation **** to be found Blissful nothingness was my way to cope Paranoia? Or is no one to be trusted? No lessons were ever taught Until I got busted Now that's food for thought
