sometimes when some people face some problems in their life
and feel that they can't overcome their problems
they
hide in the shadows of drugs
of course the matters became even more worse
for these people i wrote my poem
drugs won't solve your problems
and they never save you

Hiding In The Shadows Of Drugs
Adel AL-Rayes
October 8, 2005
These drugs I take,
Oh how sweet they feel,
They seem to ease the pain that emotions seem to bring,
The weed I smoke calms my nerves,
As it numbs the pain before it starts,
The coke I snort gives me power,
It keeps me on my feet,
The acid I have done in the past,
Keeps me laughing and crying so that it appears I have emotions,
Never did I think I would be like this,
i'm a big empty s h e l l
Something that can only be seen,
No interior,
No emotions,
No sadness,
No love ,
No happiness,
Only lonliness,
No cheer,
No brightness,
Just the darkness of this big empty s h e l l.
