they take,
they wake you with your fate.
all that is real to you is your needle and bottle tip.
yet they never give you more then chills and aches.
you give everything you have to them but get nothing in return, they kill you and your soul for what? just to get high one more time? they hurt you and your kids...sadly they are with the poor and with the rich, they are with teens and with kids......
they are a silent killer up until the end.
