The rock gleams white, a sugary lie,

Promises bliss, a feeling so high.

First puff, a blast, then a crash so hard,

Cravings take over, leaving you scarred.

Your body's a wreck, mind's in a spin,

Reality blurs, where do you even begin?

Paranoia's a bitch, whispers in your ear,

Addiction's a monster, holding you near.

Friends drift away, love starts to fade,

Replaced by the pipe, a lonely charade.

The mirror reflects, a face gaunt and thin,

Lost in the haze, where does it begin?

This ain't no joke, this ain't no game,

Crack's a cruel master, whispering your name.

A soul-crushing spiral, a downward descent,

A life on the line, a future misspent
