Red Hot Veins

by La Cuba - Aquarius


RED hot veins 
to pump warm blood
to flow through my body
i remember the beatings
this needle makes it go away
i feel so high now
these wings made out of drugs
can take me away
i feel the wind rush past me
as i start to fall
then i know i'm coming down
so i go drink some alcohol
i take one shot for thrist
i take two shots for fun
another to forget
i take one more because i'm not drunk
i can still hold on to the floor
i pop a white pill for pain
i pop one for the heat
one i take for sadness
the other makes me seem sweet
i can't make the world stop spinning
or keep the sun from going down
but i can fill my red hot veins
to keep me from being down

Reason for writing:

    because although i'm only 17, i spent half my life walking around drugged up to forget the beatings i would get, thoes i still get, and what i was doing to myself.
