Useless Circles

       With very little self esteem
       You strive to be on the team
        When you get there you really move
       A worthy teammate you must prove
       More than better you will succeed
       Through your nose a drug you feed
       Can't stop now, you're so good
      Besides it puts you in a great mood
      If I quit now I'll ruin my name
      They expect me to be ahead of the game
     They all think I'm great nobody knows
       I must keep up so I pack my nose
      But when will it stop I need a break
      But how can I tell them it was fake?
      I am good but I'm not a machine,
      Without my bag of amphetamines.
      Addicted to drugs I wont last forever
      But nobody knows; I'm so clever
       I have to get the highest score
       So they will need me that much more
       Then I can never be replaced
       As long as a reason isn't traced.
