Have you ever lied awake in bed, To scared to let the heaviness of your eyes take over For fear of what you might wake up to? Have you ever tried to save someone you love from the effects of crake and popping prescription pills That is slowly taking away their life That you have worked so hard to make for them? Have you ever had to watch someone you love bent over the toilet, Gasping for air As they through up the hang over from the night before? Have you ever watched your mom, From the corner of the room, ease her pain as she slides a need out from her arm And slowly drifts into a world of helplessness? Have you ever cried yourself to sleep As the pain burns your body From the bruises your sister gave you When your mom was out on the street corner Selling herself for her next fix? Have you ever had to endure the pain That I have had every day of my life? |
