Take a sniff

Or take a puff

Either way,

You'll be stuck.

 

Just be careful

With each dose

In your lungs,

Or up your nose.

 

Mom wouldn't approve

And Dad wouldn't care

Darling they're drugs,

They aren't getting you anywhere.

 

You're on a monitor

They went up your nose

The doctor told you,

"You overdosed."

 

Now you're dying

All alone.

You weren't careful,

"I told you so."

So, Drug unit in health class. Simple things in this life give me unthinkable ideas. I have written so much, but do not post them because I am so self-conscious. Enjoy loves. xx
