How do we make them stop

My mom shoots up
My dad does too
My parents do crack
And I don’t know what to do

I sit and watch them do it
They do it in our home
Don’t they know?
What they are teaching me
Is wrong

I beg them to stop
Not to do it anymore
What if they drugs kill them
I won’t have my parents
Anymore

I watch them shoot up
And I watch them change
Once the drug,
enters their bodies
They don’t act the same

If they run out
They head out the door
To find their drug dealer
So they can score some more

They leave me alone
When they go out
The house is dark
The powers off again
The money went in their arms
The bills went paid again


They spend all our money
On drugs and booze
That is why
We never have any food
No running water
That too went unpaid
We are always get turned off
From power and water too
Because the bills go unpaid

They use the money
To support they,
habits that they have
That what happen when you’re,
Parents are drug addicts



I wonder if they’ve noticed
What it does to their teeth
They are starting to chip
They never get brushed
The enamel is coming off
That is just another cost
From the drug
I wonder how much damage
That stuff really does

Look at their hair
As it is falling out
Another side affects
From the drugs that they do
Why can’t they see?
What that drug can do

Look how thin they are
The pounds just drop off
They think they look good
But I think they don’t

If they could only hear
The comments that are made
By other people
When they walk,
down the street

Thinking they look good
Being so thin and all
Little do they know?
It don’t look good at all

Crack takes a toll,
on you’re body
Inside and out
Before to long
You look dragged out
You hair is thin
You’re body is too
You’re teeth are,
cracked and broken
That is what that drug
Does to you

One more hit could kill you
Take you out just like that
You better think about it
And stop
If you can


You need willpower and courage
You need to be strong
You need to do whatever it takes
To stop putting that drug
In your arms
And smoking it to
Please stop
Doing crack,
Can kill you
