Poetic-Verses
'' A Fellow Human Being ''
I started out at aged eleven by drinking a bottle of wine,
it made me really nauseous that should have been a sign,
I then went on to smoke cigarettes, what type I had my pick,
it didn't matter what it was it made me feel real sick.
I drank and smoked for many years and sometimes wondered why,
I really thought that this was life until the day die,
one night I went out with my mates to a wedding bash,
my mate said why not try a spliff it's not a drug it's hash.
I tried it out and liked it I really felt quite cooked,
I never dreamed that soon this stuff would have me really hooked,
within six weeks of trying it I had to have more blow,
my life without my hash in me I didn't want to know.
My family and friends all warned me this habit must stop now,
I didn't really want to stop even I knew how,
Five years on I love it taken with alcohol,
it makes you feel invincible you can really have a ball.
The only thing that bothers me is when lying in my bed,
I swear a thousand voices are talking in my head,
I told my mate it's worrying, he said throw it in the bin,
I'll give you something else to smoke it's called heroin.
He said it wouldn't harm me it's just not as restrictive,
he also claimed my head would clear he said it's not addictive,
I tried it for around a year and then it lost it's essence,
I had to look for something else to give me back my presence.
I tried some pills I tried some coke I liked them all a bit,
I needed something stronger to give me the ultimate hit,
my mate then said there's something else I know it'll make you cringe,
you'll get the score you've waited for but it's taken by syringe.
By this time I didn't care I told him get me some,
he told me it was lethal and that I was acting dumb,
I know that now for I would kill just to get that feeling,
I get the cash to pay for it by begging and by stealing.
My body's full of sores now my liver is infected,
all because I craved for drugs that had to be injected,
the first time that you try it you get the ultimate score,
after that forget you won't get any more.
I've lost my wife my children my father and my mother,
my home my job my self respect and my only brother,
I've lost my mates to drugs before, a lot not just a few,
but you manage to convince yourself it will never happen to you.
Before you take drugs think, it will have a terrible effect,
I wish I had my life right now but not in retrospect,
I'll never blame another soul as we all have a voice,
I wasn't forced to try out drugs like you I had a choice.
So if you're ever offered drugs put up such a fight,
your choice is not to be ignored exercise your right,
regardless of the way I look I see my life and cry,
I have wasted countless lives searching for that high.
Circumstances change us all that much I know is true,
so next time you look down on me, think, I could be you,
whenever you see me begging try not to be all seeing,
inside I'm just the same as you,
