Grains of Sand - The Poetry of Dan Henson


Addiction
Alone and depressed
Just need a fix
I say "this is the last time"
Then i take a hit
Fire burns and smoke fills the air
Happiness at last
I'm neither here nor there
Payday comes
Pay check is spent
I saw the dealer for some weight
instead of payin the rent
Pawn off some movies
Some cd's and a t.v.
All for an hour of feeling free
No place to live
I'm out on the street
But i swear
i've almost got this thing beat
Just once more and then i'll quit
It's time to face facts
I'm an addict
