I hate you heroin for all the things that you've done

When I first met you, I thought you were the one

But now that I know you, you are the devil

I never thought you could bring me down to this level

You've killed one of my best friends, and almost killed me

Now without you Heroin, my life feels so free

The pains that you've caused, you made my bones ache

You've put me through detox, rehab and you just watched me shake

You've gotten me arrested, but that wasn't enough

That's because your addiction is so fricking tough

You've made me steal from the one's that I love

And now it's time for me to raise on up above

God gave me the power to put you away

He gave me the power to take it day by day

So, please Heroin stay away

Even on those rainy days

This is what I've got to say

Screw you Heroin, go away!

Thought this might help some parents who's children did not share quite so much with them to let them know, how truly the addict feels inside, I do not know if I will ever truly understand the disease, but it is a very serious one that kills and is only getting worse. I miss my son horribly, some days are just totally unbearable, but I know I will get through it and would like eventually someday spread his word and help other people, Thanks for listening and hope this will help someone.
