Just take another pill

another drag

another drink

Sure

It's fun in the moment

then you realize

you realize you could be turning

turning into one of them

just another teenage junkie

What happened to that little girl

who was always smiling

was she ever there

or did it take

a death

druggie sister

a mother who was never stable

and a few connections

to get her here

looking back

i notice

those empty eyes

silent screams

nobody

including the little girl

noticed

now

that once little girl notices

people are starting to catch on

they don't know the half of it

maybe the cutting

maybe the eating

possibly the drugs

they'd never understand

it's too late anyway

old habits die hard
