Hooked

William brooks 1959 (Salem)



It drives one crazy its hard getting hooked. Dived right in as easy as it looked. Marijuana cocaine yes it was all there. Everyone using so who really cared. Its my life to live thats what they say. As long as I'm here I'll do it my way. Now leave me alone get out of my face. Go somewhere else and give me my space. But what about your child with nothing to eat. Haven't decent shoes to put on his feet. You had two girls yes you had others. They were taken away what an unfit mother. Its your life to live so please think twice. Its very very hard to pay the price. Just worship the Lord and give him praise. For some sort of peace for the rest of your days.
