Dopiend
An innocent child, young teen
Doctors, lawyers
Street walkers and prostitutes
It doesn't discriminate
Smoking, snorting
Swallowing or injecting
Dope is everywhere
Right at this moment
In someone's bloodstream
Unknown to our eyes
But to those
Whom chasing that high
Blood pressure at a rise
The mind
Moving one hundred miles per hour
But body
Slowed by fatigue
Everyday
A cycle repeat
For a short high
Family, friends, and themselves
They lie
Not an addict
Just a first time try
But in a knowledgeable sense
Simply a dopiend
The only reason why
