"Addicts Non-Anonymous"

Why can't I see through these bloodshot eyes? Why do I need this poison so bad? Why can't anyone see past all my lies? Why when you help do I get mad? I stuck the needle in my arm I thought I could handle it But I didn't contemplate the harm Now the pain I felt I can never forget. I feel the poison entering my veins Temporarily alleviating my pains But when it wears off I'll need another dose Being able to get close to people is what I miss the most. I needed you but you needed a needle Thats how I feel When I look down in the casket and realize it's real Your pride was crushed long ago like a beetle You pushed everyone away And yet At the end of the day No one will forget How you needed drugs And when you asked for help it was met by shrugs
