Choice or reason

By skully

The only reason I smoke
Is to make the music sound better
The only reason I inject
Is to make the pain go away
I only go out and drink and dance
To prove that I am alive and not alone

Who decides what I inhale
or snort or skin pop?
What business is it of yours
that I need to escape sometimes
and breathe that thing called
freedom, feel that thing called
liberty
