"Drug of Choice; Road of Addiction"

An Important part of my Self-discovery journey.

Cocaine was my drug of choice.

All I heard was the Devil's voice.

Telling me to numb the pain.

And say the Lord's name in vain.

At first, it was fun.

Until I had my last run.

Where I was lying in bed,

With stabbing pains in my head.

Praying to God it would go away.

And to have a chance to live another day.

In the beginning, it made me feel good.

Until I started to get noticed in the hood.

But it was so hard not to stop.

So I just continued to cop.

Sniffing and drinking,

Without even thinking,

I was selfish for getting high.

Not caring if I would die.

Cocaine, you are the devil.

That took me to a lower level.

You tore my family and life apart.

And all I was left with was a broken heart.

I sit here today to say goodbye.

And live life to the fullest with a natural high.

Get my kids back and do what I have to, too get by.

Goodbye to my addiction.

All of that was fiction.

I have a Higher Power, that will help me listen.
