the world needs us more than we need those drugs

the pain of starting over may just be too great,
fake it till you make is what they say,
mistakes made worse because I am complacent,
The days tick away to my amazement,
Fuck fame I want greatness,
I want positive relations
I just want a life that means something,
not just another damn junkie
too easy to jump me,
these streets cant please me,
so i make something out of nothing,
after juggling self destruction,
I reach a junction,
fix my malfunction or live in a mental dungeon  
no more drunk stumbling,
I want to be productive,
no more mumbling excuses,
elusively using,
I am better than that shit,
this land is full of traps and tricks,
misfit trying to make it,
gambling all their chips,
just for a chance to live,
fuck the statistics
and the political mission
we make it,
we can fucking take it,
we have been to hell and back,
got off track but we still have a chance to impact,
In fact the world needs us more than we need drugs,
The conflicts only get greater because we are lacking love,
hate is easy,
but we know what its like to be greedy,
so we see the need for integrity,
we know the enemy lies in corrupted mentalities
we need to fix ourselves before judging anyone else,
addicted or not we could all use some help,
