Addiction

I gave up on my dreams just to try to be among.
I gave up on my sanity thinking this was the way.
Thinking I was high up, high in the sky and beyond.

I puffed, scratched screamed and yanked
all in the name of substances so hard, hard enough to;
Kill my dreams and ruin my life.
Hard enough to change my fate.

Only to realize the pain too long gone.
Addicted to something too damn strong.
If only there was a way.
I've listened so many times to what the dean say.
But is it strong enough or as hard enough for me to change my way.
