The all consuming chaos.

M**h took over my everything.

My days and nights became one.

Not knowing where I was anymore.

The constant flashing of thoughts.

Losing track of hours on end.

My God, the hours.

Never again.

I won't go back.

This time it's forever.

I will not let this demon win.

Just for today, I will own my life.

I wont give you a moment of my time.

Drugs have no power over me anymore.

I will stand against this terrible disease.

Listen up,
and listen well.
I’ve tasted heaven,
and I’ve walked through hell.

Life can feel,
so unfair.
It all becomes,
too much to bare.

I used to cut,
and scratch my skin.
I have faith today,
but I came from sin.

S*x was cool,
and drugs were fun.
Lying, stealing,
and carrying a gun.

I thought I was tough,
I thought I was hard.
My Dad would pass out,
and I’d take his car.

I’d be gone for days,
no plan in sight.
My Dad was home,
worrying all night.

Would this be the time,
that he’d get that call?
That I’m not coming home…
Not this time at all.

Prison or death,
was my fate it seemed.
A life after this,
was just a dream.

But I finally woke up,
so I could push this farther.
But that’s more than I can say,
for my dear old father.

I was a year off the drugs,
When Dad passed away.
I was there when he died,
and I miss him every day.

He never got to see me,
speaking to a crowd.
Or maybe he did,
because now, he’s all around.

I’m glad I straightened up,
before Dad left this Earth.
Your family deserves that,
they’ve loved you since your birth.

So hang up your guns,
and don’t take that next pill.
Because the streets will never love you,
like your family will.

"The Streets Will Never Love You"
