Crank

by Hollywood   May 16, 2008


I know that what I did was wrong
At the time I hardly knew what I was going
I was so young and I felt so right
Sleeping all day; Staying up all night
Nothing to do, just getting high!

It started when I was 14
It began innocently, with alcohol
That was not enough, so it progressed
Turning me into this ugly monster
Nobody dared to mess with me

I never knew what I was about to do
It took me in, possessed me, owned me
Like nothing else ever before!
I loved life and I could do anything
Until I started using crack!

It messed with my face; With my teeth
It turned me into an ugly monster
That no one wanted to look or even see
Everywhere I went the meth went!
Everywhere I went the meth had to go!

I felt so safe; I was immortal
Until I found myself in the hospital,
No longer myself; Crying at nothing
I thought there was a man behind my bed!
Was I going absolutely mad?

This meth possesses me, to my dying day!
I thought that I would never use again!
It took my house, everything away from me
Now I am homeless, living off the streets!

Getting high and sleeping around
Was never what I had imagined!
My family moved away; Disowned me
They wanted nothing to do with me!
Kids don't try it or you'll be in for good!

    This is not bad, expressed in a way I haven't seen. Really is a nice way to put each feeling with the problem.
