Breaking the Stigma

Recovering from Addiction

By Jaxx PhoenixPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

The heroin in the veins

Tryin to take away the pain

We resort to shooting drugs

Cuz we don't want to feel insane

If it's not drugs then it's the drinking

We just wanna shift our thinking

Away from all this bs

To blue skies and money makin

Lately all we know is suffering

While slowly our lives are buffering

We can't even speak of happiness

Cuz all we know is sadness and sin

But I wanna live my life different

It's hard and that's apparent

Still I'm never giving up

And to you that's incoherent

Let me show you that I can do it

These trials I'm getting through em

I'm fighting these daily battles

I'm strong enough and Imma prove it

Many times I've given up

I'm not even gonna front

Going back was always easier

But that life is not enough

I want more for myself

I deserve a life of wealth

And I'm not talking about the money

I'm talking happiness and health

I'm talking tribulations and peace

Spreading my story through the beats

Letting others know it's possible

To make my demons' existence cease
