Need For Speed...a drug story
By Jaded Jezzabelle
I took a detour
and got turned around
looking for a cure
for my affliction
Was lost until I found
this devine addiction
I was young and insecure
when I began this romance
Doing lines all the time
it was fun getting spun
So we aspired to aways be wired
No one could predict
that our dance would inflict
a high that declines
as it defines us
and confines us
Time passes by years they fly
as we identify
with a culture filled with vultures
Manipulated by meth
feels like I can't catch my breath
was easily impressed
nothing exceeds like excess
We fit the stereo type
desired to be admired
yet we remain uninspired
frozen by fear and
insincere
Caught up in the hype
we began to hit the pipe
meth smokes smooth
it invokes
a peaceful numbness
with a couple of tokes
Awake and restlessly aware
that our atmosphere
is fake
into nothing we stare
Our lives become meaningless
in our slumberless
enviorment
where the only requirment is to express
and confess
our need for
speed

never hit the pipe, but am a former tweaker from way back when; can't remember feeling this way, but then again i was young... your illustration is especially effective, defining a way of life that simply went out of control, in a controlled sort of way

This is so true for anyone who has ever fallen in love with meth, you just reminded me why I'm clean. Wonderfully written.
