You constantly hear,
"Once an addict always an addict
Once an alcoholic always an alcoholic
Once a sexual predator always a sexual predator..."
But they never tell you that once you try it
Once you like it
You're hooked
You don't need to be addicted
You don't need to try it several times
Only once, maybe twice
And if you like it, even just a tad
You'll crave it
For the rest of your life.
Feeling stressed?
Just a little snort
Will relieve it
Feeling depressed?
Just one line
Would make you happy
Can't sleep?
Just one small injection
Will help you sleep soundly....
You have those thoughts
Resounding in your head
Always in the back of your mind
Even though you haven't done it for a couple months,
A couple years, half your life-
It doesn't matter, it's there, always, forever
Yes, forever, scary, isn't it?
That little needle will help you not be afraid,
I promise.....
