Lena's Poison
Lena is laying on the bathroom floor Again
Needle in hand as she breathes in and breaths out
Watching as her world begins to spin around her
Feeling as free as a bird in the air how she loves the thrill
Lena injects another round of poison deep with her veins
At 22 it's all she's ever known mommy and daddy taught her well
Taking hit after hit to forget their constant abuse
Sprawling out on the living room couch ready to be evicted from this hell
Lena can't afford her rent due to her addicting release
Landlord's hand wrapped around her throat growing tighter
Life growing darker by the endless seconds
Then being thrown to the floor along with a two weeks notice
Lena is laying in an alley needle in her arms again
Living in the streets doing whatever she can to get her next hit
Selling love to strange men every night her only escape is the drug
Mommy and daddy have taught her how to be a drug addict well
Needle in hand as she breathes in and breaths out
Watching as her world begins to spin around her
Feeling as free as a bird in the air how she loves the thrill
Lena injects another round of poison deep with her veins
At 22 it's all she's ever known mommy and daddy taught her well
Taking hit after hit to forget their constant abuse
Sprawling out on the living room couch ready to be evicted from this hell
Lena can't afford her rent due to her addicting release
Landlord's hand wrapped around her throat growing tighter
Life growing darker by the endless seconds
Then being thrown to the floor along with a two weeks notice
Lena is laying in an alley needle in her arms again
Living in the streets doing whatever she can to get her next hit
Selling love to strange men every night her only escape is the drug
Mommy and daddy have taught her how to be a drug addict well

Sadly, I know quite a few who've gone down this lonely road.
It's a excellent piece for sure.
I feel inspired to write another piece.
Keep up the good work!

If you’re not an addict (be it functioning or recovered) you are excellent at “capturing “ the moment and emotional struggle that comes with the vice. I say this because I am an addict, and damn girl, you nailed the whole thing. Very sad, but extremely well written.
