Sweet, friendly, comforting, available poison
Taking away my ovewhelming feeling of despair
Cold, tangy, spakling, taunting cover up
I went willingly with you,  my friend,
Always listening, making eveything quieter, lighter
Now, like chains to my feet, I struggle to set myself free
How clever you are, taking your time, numbing my senses
Now, without you I am catatonic,  frozen
With you I am numb again, a prisoner of my pain

This is a very real feeling for those that use substances as a coping method for dealing with negative emotions. As an addictions counsellor for youth, I see the the results of using on youth. I wish for the best in all those that have come to fond comfort in using and sincerely hope that one day they will find the strength to brake free from using and find trust and freedom from within.
