Junkie skin

by the moment you know   Mar 2, 2007


Junkie skin
cracks and sores
silent screams
sudden pain
junkie eyes
blood shot white
yellow tears
squinted looks
junkie hair
lank and split
matted and torn
junkie heart
beating hard
rapid jump
inhale the fumes
pills in your pocket
a zoot in your mouth
A person in your head
The losers circle
No one included
But everyone a part
Pass it round
Pass the germs
Breathe it hard
feel your brain die
But don't care
As long as
You get the rush
Not a junkie
addiction part of the question
Cut down
Grow up
Never enough
Who do you choose?
Friends seeming less
Of an object
Using that illness as your excuse
Making the condition worse
Who cares
About the junkie
Who cares
About the waste of life
Spending your time
It's justnot right
she said
Treating the people outside of your circle
Better than you treat
the person you love
Does it make sense
you like the same
sex
Not anything
Hurting yourself
Drugging yourself
Draining yourself
Exploiting yourself
It's just a drug
it's just
your life
watch it
float away
where did it go
you gave up caring
take a job
make a family
watch pornography
