My newest addiction
I don't know why I bow to the pain
I turn to anything to free myself
My latest addict, will it be my last?
I'm sorry, I really am
It's hard not to go a day without it
They say it's a drug
They say it will help me
They don't know the pain it causes me
My newest addiction the one I don't need
I Gambled
Then I drank
Filling empty bottles with my tears
Drowning my sorrow and fears
Now they want me to get hooked up to some damn pills
I hate the reaction it gives me
I hate the withdraws
The cold sad days
The make me fake happy
Show emotions I know that are only chemically there
The days I hurt and look for another way out
I needed my cards
My cash and Quarters
For a while thats all I needed
I shouldn't listen but I can't help it
I need him
He keeps me safe
I need to get away
I hate these damn things that get in the way
My newest addiction will it be my last?
Or will it be just a new beginning?

Drugs are evil little things... avoid using them unless professionally prescribed. I hope you can overcome your nastiest habits, I'm still suffering some of mine. I haven't done anything serious, but what I've done is addicting nonetheless. I'll pm you.

curious, why did you cap. the word quarters? and gambled? it kind of links the 2 words
My latest addict<<< you mean addiction? not sure if it's new lingo, ya know?
if the new drug is speed, i've always thought they dish out out in small doses so that it makes you tired because you don't take enough to really get off, thus you're not hyperactive. i don't recommend taking psychotropic drugs, they have been linked to all kinds of crazy behavior, like mass murders. i guess it's the withdraws you have to worry about. ppl kill themselves in jail cuz they don't have their meds. i met a guy that poked his own eye out because he was withdrawing.
