For many years
She has been bleeding tears
And juggling fears.

She lives chaos and worry
Her future is blurry.

Tremendous guilt she has built
From the shame that has followed her name.

She is spiraling out of control
In a deep, dark hole
Clawing up as she's falling down
Hope shattering is the only sound.
No matter how hard she tries to repair the heartbreak
She cannot escape.

Joy eludes her -- seems so far away.
But what price must she pay
To simply find her way?

Many times she tried to buy happiness....

A is for ADDICT
I am one by far

B is for BOOZE
Blacked out in a bar.

C is for COPPING
My drug dealer's gain

D is for DOPE
Making love to my vein.

E is for EXCESS
Cuz that's how I roll

F is for FIX
My everyday goal.

From the damage I've done

Can't have just one.

Don't matter what

J is for JONESING
So sick in my gut.

The dreams I once had

That sweet weed...
