Heroin
Artificial pinpoint eyes
Plastic feelings
Snort another line of self confidence
It’s funny how each lie becomes more ridiculously entwined
Living life one fade to the next
Collapsed veins trying to hold on…..to something
You can’t even look into a mirror
Afraid of what you’ll see
Enjoying a high that has destroyed and ended many a life
Your sickness outweighs you
Your selfishness overtakes you
The most addictive substance on this planet,
More addictive than cigarettes
More addictive than alcohol
An uphill battle that seems too steep to climb
Once you have crossed that line
It seems like everything is in black and white
Life lacks substance
Lacks color
The battle must continue to be fought
For death is eminent
And giving up is much too easy
There is help
Faith will show you this
The color will return
Along with strength
Rebuild………….
One prayer at a time
