Because I wasn’t what they wanted me to be

Do I care?, I think not

I am what I am, and thats what I got

I smoke the drugs

And hang with the thugs

Drink vodka, whiskey, and beer

Always pretending to have no fear

But I didn’t want it to go this far, mom and dad

I just wanted a little freedom, some time to be a little bad

And before I knew it, I was shooting up heroin

Feeling good at the time, then not knowing where I’ve been

I depend on these drugs more and more

Shooting up too many times, my arms are getting sore

I am killing myself oh so slowly, but I no longer care

Even though I have bags under my eyes, and ghastly thinning hair

You caught me high, drunk, all shot up

Found me in a corner, and tried to help me stop

But mommy, daddy, I cant do it, its just too hard

To make this deadly addiction, just an old scar

I’m trying to stop smoking the drugs

Trying to get away from my thugs

Not drinking vodka, whiskey, or beer

And I will admit I do have fear

I am giving it my best, giving it my all

Trying to keep my balance, hoping I wont fall

So please bare with me, while I try to cease this pain

To drop this addiction, and learn to fly again
