Heroin..

Like an ancient sculptor's clay

We are moulded, day by day

Forced out of our comfort zones

Into something strange unknown

"Grow up kids! Give up sleep!"

For we are "adults" now, sixteen sweet

Burdened backs that make us bow

Coz we are "grown-up" students now

Books grow thick, like *watered weeds*

Bags heavier, like *swollen seeds*

Physics, Chemistry, Bio, Maths

Pissed off teachers make us mad

Guess they have forgotten those

Days they were kids, not long ago.

Just one soul to sympathise

With broken hearts and sleepy eyes

Just one way if we could find

To rest our weary, worn-out minds.

And right before we all give in

Someone brings in 'heroin'

Slowly, slowly hooked on it

*A rosy path to a deathly pit*

Why do you do this to yourself???

A moment's peace, but a lifetime's hell

I shake my head and sadly frown

Pity the poor, addicted town

But then I subtly, slowly smile

Coz I have my own *drug* aside

A loving heart that lives in mine

A caring soul that stands beside

Good for me and good for you

Anyone who can love you true

A drug that's healthy for everyone

Not cocaine, but as vital as the sun

You're born alone, why live that way?

Smile at someone, love today

I know I'm happy, healthy and safe

Baby you keep my pain at bay

And joy to me that you do bring

Baby, you're "my own heroin".. ;) :D
