THE CHAINS OF ADDICTION (Drugs)
*Book I: Descent into Darkness*
In darkest alleys, where shadows play
Lurks a demon, that steals the day
Hard drugs, a siren's deadly call
Luring victims, to an endless fall
A fleeting high, a moment's peace
But soon, a slave to endless release
The grip is tight, the hold is strong
Addiction's chains, where freedom's gone
Cocaine's rush, heroin's sweet embrace
Meth's wild ride, to a hopeless place
Crack's destructive path, to shattered dreams
Opioids' deadly grasp, in endless screams
Lives are lost, futures fade away
As addiction's darkness holds sway
Relationships shattered, love turns cold
A soul destroyed, a life grown old
The struggle's real, the pain's intense
As users search, for a way to dispense
The weight of shame, the guilt and fear
The constant craving, always near
But still, a glimmer of hope appears
A chance to break, the deadly tears
Rehab's refuge, a guiding light
Support and love, through the darkest night
The road to recovery, winding and long
But with each step, a new life's song
Free from chains, the heart now clear
A soul revived, a life held dear
In city streets, where shadows roam
Lurks a demon, with a deadly home
Hard...
