"Take Off That Mask!"

"Drugs are just,
a means to an end,
and how to obtain,
some dead end friends,
that think it fun,
to sit with you and die,
using together,
'Hey let that one,
be the next one we try!'
said the ghost,
to another ghost.

'Man I scored today!'
but really is that something to boast.
In fact young child,
you should be rightly ashamed,
and know you ultimately,
are the one to blame,
for your life being,
oh so tragic,
because you believed,
in the drug's magic,
to make you feel better,
better than okay,
but what of your situation,
I bet you're stuck,
right where you lay,
and forgot how to pray,
because what use is God,
when those drugs,
in your mind,
take the pain away?

Oh no I forgot,
that's only until morning,
when you sober up,
as you shake from DT's,
as you fill up that cup.

Why not try God,
He's a permanent fix,
and can open your eyes,
to the devil's tricks,
that got you lost,
in this quicksand bog,
with your brain,
in impassable fog.

I say all this,
from the other side,
of addiction,
to try to throw you a rope,
to climb out of,
your rock bottomed affliction,
because Jesus set before me,
this very task,
to break down your walls,
so you finally,
take off that mask."
