The Dreadful Three
I am an addict of three.
These addictions weigh me down to the highest degree.
These three addictions;
Cause havoc and afflictions.

• Meet addiction number one:
You took three years to outrun.
To me your drug was priceless;
And in return, you left me lifeless.
The only thing to make me feel a thrill;
Would be to snort many pills.
One, Two, Three, Four:
Never enough; I craved more.
Surrounding myself with wrong associates;
To keep my system filled with opiates.
Hard work put into college and all I accomplished;
Was yanked from me and demolished.
That was the first goal I allowed drugs to crush.
By losing myself in a large rush.
Three years later I traded pills;
For bills.
Out on my own;
Finally, I have grown.

• Hello, addiction number two:
Coming at me like a whirlwind, what could I do?
The simple answer stated to me is "don't do it",
Let me tell you; That is a crock of shit.
This drug surrounded me:
Making it hard to be free.
Abused by my family, taunting at my job, and around my sacred home:
This evil substance came knocking at my door no matter how hard I would condone.
Evil dope;
You drain all hope.
Your wickedness has my family by strings;
Toying with all them as if they were your playthings.
Severing close ties;
You make them all want to live in lies.
My whole family chose you over me.
They all lost what was important you see?
I wish I could say I was over this addiction.
Here I battle, I am kept at the restriction.
Chrystal meth;
Your substance made me wish for death.
Your powers that made me feel so alive;
You made me lose sight of my drive.
Meth, I blame you for most that I have lost.
What people say is true; your charms came at a cost.
You caused my family,
To not stand by me.
Going from choosing bills,
Over pills;
my money was no longer to my life's...
