Seven Months ago you
Took my mom away from me
I already knew
You weren’t safe for me
I will always run from you
Eventually everyone will too
People say that won’t happen to me
Well just look at my family
You’re sneaky, disguised
In too many ways
Needles, fire, death
Are your allies
You’re damaging our society
Making disgusting habits look
Like what I need
Words you hear from
The damage you’ve done
Can never bring back
MY loved one
I say no
I stand up and fight
Against your deadly poison
I say no to drugs
