Addiction
"Dedicated in Loving Memory
of David Wayne Cronk"
"Died due to his addiction
Dec.31st '1995"
Look in
the mirror.
It's called
the pain of living.
When you
build the walls brick by brick,
No longer
giving.
You inject
your escape into your veins.
Living
life made you crazy,
But this
is even more insane.
Reality
is gone with each ,
and every
sub-mission.
Only you
can stop this mad,
destructive
addiction.
You've
lost friends and family,
These people
have lost hope.
Is it really
worth it
to keep
doing all this booze and dope?
I walk
slowly away,
with tears
in my eyes.
I'd rather
remember from before,
Then to
watch you slowly die.
If killing
yourself is what you want to do,
Know too,
that something died inside of me.
The pain
you feel is still there,
and addicted
you're not really free.
