junkie... To impress my peers i took one puff after that puff, there was no way out dropped out of school to feed my addiction mandrax and hubbly acted as a shoulder to lean on every Friday was just a party day party freaks overcrowded where we stayed now that i walk next to my shoes nobody wants to walk next to me my bright smile had fade away drug abuse discolored my teeth my fingertips are hard as a stone my face is full of stitch marks i had to cover them with tattoos at such a young age,i had wrinkles at home I'm innocent as a saint in the streets,even dogs hesitate to bark. ©Alex Swartbooi #addicts
