In a world where dreams are cast in shadows,
The needle whispers promises so hollow,
A fleeting escape, a moment borrowed,
But in its wake, only sorrow.

The pills, the powder, a deceitful friend,
They beckon with a smile, yet betray in the end,
A temporary high, a false ascend,
Leaving broken paths that never mend.

Eyes once bright, now clouded with despair,
The soul cries out, a silent prayer,
Bound by chains, a life unfair,
Searching for hope, somewhere, somewhere.

Let us rise, from this dark abyss,
Embrace the light, a gentle kiss,
Together we’ll fight, we shall not miss,
The chance to live, in serene bliss.
