...where have you been, haven't you heard

Recovery is the word

Ecstasy, Cocaine, Alcohol, Pills, Fry, Weed

Syrup, Heroin or Crystal Meth's curd

They can never provide happiness inward nor outward

No amount of drugs; sadness, will they erase

And, not one problem will that hit gratify

But soon; health problems, they will most definitely, amplify

Kidney failure, cirrhosis, heart attacks, and strokes' reply

Or, finally an overdose that sets off death's untimely, lullaby

Denial must not be allowed to control and domineer

For, to sustain recovery

One must be determined, committed and sincere...
