Peer pressure

 

 
 
As the tube sucked lanes into that white powder. 
 
I think about what got me into that dreadful hour. 
 
hopeless and ashamed of what I've done 
 
while my friends promised this would be so much fun. 
 
I throw my life away with every sniff 
 
as my muscles go so very stiff
 
I try to pull away 
 
but it just makes me stay. 
 
It makes me do things I don't want to
 
as I drive down death avenue...
 
the car accelerates. 
 
I try to control it but there are no breaks
 
faster and even faster
 
I'm no longer the master. 
 
than abruptly.......crash 
 
"Where is my beloved stash......."
