What Happens After
August 22, 2012 11:27 am Comments Off on What Happens AfterI don’t get it
I just don’t
I don’t want to
I just won’t
Nothing seems right
Nothing makes sense
Everyone’s pressure
I’m sitting on a fence
Alcohol, drugs, & sex isn’t my scene
But, they’re my friends.
I’m torn in between.
If I take that, I’ll fit in with the party.
But, in the end it is my body.
The consequences are all on me.
The stomach aches, migraines, and vomiting.
For just one night,
No more problems
No more hype.
But, what happens after,
When it all wears away?
Reality checks back in
The pain is here to stay.
That one measly drink,
The one slight puff
Starting is easy,
Getting out is tough.
“Oh, it’s just weed,
It won’t kill me”
Try saying that when you’re eighty.
You have lung cancer & you’re dying.
You’re weak & still lying.
Just one question is all I ask
Is saying “no” such a difficult task?
Think about it.
