Junkie

There’s a fire in my belly
It’s been burning for a while
It’s starting to hurt
I think it’s called denial
 
I don’t have a problem
They take away my stress
I don’t want to quit
But maybe I could do less
 
I’m starting to sneak around
Behind my families back
My mind is starting to wander
Getting off track
 
Rehab is my second home
I can’t stay out too long
My family wants me to quit
I guess I’m not that strong
 
My mother’s always crying
My daughter won’t say my name
My son doesn’t understand
And I am filled with shame
 
My wife is angry
Yelling all the time
I guess I must admit
This was never fine
 
I can’t undo
The mistakes I have made
I can’t ask for forgiveness
Just pray that they will fade
 
I’m crying out for help
I hope it will come
If I am left alone
In darkness I will succumb
 
I know the drugs will kill me
It’s a knife I have placed
I have nowhere to run
In this coffin I’m encased
