Say NO to drugs!

There was nothing newer in my life,
Same places I went, same faces I met,
Yearning for just a change in my life,
I met this guy, and my life was lit.

For he introduced some things to me,
Which brought instant joy in myself.
Smoking a stuff was too hard for me,
At first, Then I could do it myself.

Then I experienced a tiny prick,
Which gave me an immense joy.
Knowing nothing about the trick,
I spent all I had to that ploy.

Wanting it more, but having no money,
I started to steal from my home.
This new habit I practised in many,
Neighbours and dear friends' home.

I was pale and always looking tired,
My parents sensed something wrong.
We all had to face our doctors ire,
Who whacked us with words so long.

I was hospitalized the next day,
And found two people to watch.
I thought I would soon go astray,
Without, so I tried to dodge.

It didn't help and I felt worse.
And they had to give me a dose,
Of that poison to make me sit,
Oh! I felt like a piece of **it.

One of those was a person I know,
Who played along with me before.
While he looked clean as pure snow,
I never felt this cheap before.

Each day seemed like years,
And once I could not bear,
All these, so I tried,
And I had almost died.

When I just opened my eyes,
This guy stood before me,
Slapped me hard that my eyes,
Welled and I could not see.

You want to die, you fool?
Go ahead, drink this now!
Rarely does he lose his cool,
I made him do! I bowed!

All the efforts that you make,
Should only be for your living.
Don't do this for God's sake!
There is no gloy in leaving!

These were what I heard him say.
I never gave up from then on.
Soon came the end to my long stay,
I went home and felt reborn.

Drugs may give an instant kick,
But rob your life from you.
Stay away from it and kick
Those who try to force you.
