Addiction

Come into this open hand,
Extended, helping you to stand
Up for, up to those goals so far
Reach for that f-ing shining star

But you may see,
If you look around
That helping hand
Has let you down

Not so outstretched,
Fingers closing in.
A clenching fist,
You're trapped in sin.

A method of destruction
You have become.
Shattering all,
Saving not one

Lay in cold blackness,
Hungry and wired,
Nothing left here
To be desired

But you are so tired,
Will you ever rest?
Remember all this pain
Makes you the best.

What doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger.
But is your life going to
Last much longer?

That which once saved you,
Brought you to the light
Let you rot and die
Buried you in the night.

A lesson to others
That was your fate.
Too bad, the truth came
Too f-ing late.
