The Ritual of the Neddel and the Spoon (frontwards, backwards poem)
Please pass me the spoon
I need a hug from Jesus and I need it soon
My body needs to relax till it forgets to breath
Don't worry about the marks you can cover them with sleeves
A little pick and the pain will all fade away
Let me nod out, I'll deal with it another day
Let my mind get lost in the sway
It's the ritual of the needle and the spoon
It's the hug from Jesus that can't come to soon
I need a hug from Jesus and I need it soon
My body needs to relax till it forgets to breath
Don't worry about the marks you can cover them with sleeves
A little pick and the pain will all fade away
Let me nod out, I'll deal with it another day
Let my mind get lost in the sway
It's the ritual of the needle and the spoon
It's the hug from Jesus that can't come to soon

I hope you never do. I never did till I was only hanging on by a thread. Seconds away from ending my existence. And the only way my friend knew how to save me was to help that way. It only took once for me to crave it. But I do my best to stay away from it. (not that I don't indulge)
