Locked in a Substance

(another poem ages later, like , comment, , share, this is an extended version)
One needle prick to ruin your life,
one breath closer to not breathing,
one puff closer to death.
It takes once to make it twice.
Stop for the better,
Start in vain,
End in pain.
The feeling, is it worth the loss?
Numbing the ocean of hazard,
To bring on a tsunami of loss.
Powders, rolls and syringes,
to jam life's hinges.
One time can lead to one hundred,
Because one breath is all it takes, to be locked in a substance.

Decisions can destroy,
Families and lives,
Substances have left only ashes behind.
It doesn't take a long time to make bad habits,
It takes time to break them.
They promise peace in the darkness,
But they end in bloodshed,
Never in happiness.
The first time, 
will end in craving and obssession.
The substance wafts around
waiting for its next prisoners.
Its a red target on your back,
waiting to strike.
Because one wrong decision,
will get you locked in a substance,
Squirming to get away.

Tulips

I saw the tulips by the meadow, A bright beautiful yellow. Dancing in the summer sun Like they were too having fun. They glowed in the sunlight, And dazzled in the moonlight They reminded me I had places to go while I lay there at midnight. It was like the light at the end of the tunnel When life was anything but humble. At breaking dawn, When it shimmered with fresh sweet dew And had a faded yellow hue It told me things about mother nature that I never knew. But soon the tulips wilted, as humans made the world tilted, I still remember those tulips swaying in the rain, something out of the ordinary, in a world so mundane. By thelazyWriter

Happiness Anthem

Smile a little harder , Before the world gets darker. Flash it around, trust me, with it you will go a long way It will make somebody's day. Even if it couldn't be a worse time, One smile and it will be fine. Don't smile hesitantly, smile wholeheartedly. Smile like you have never cried, Like you have had the best reason to be happy. A smile can be the bright star in the dark night. When all hope is lost and the world around you is swallowed up by sorrow, Your smile can be the light. Don't look at your bank balance and cry, Count your blessings and do good deeds , Then the world will be a place full of glee. By thelazywriter

Chapter#3

I woke up with a start when I felt the straps on my body. But this time Mark was beside me. He was telling me something as he hurriedly removed the belts strapped across my body. He was along with 3 others and Brian who walked away as he began to unbuckle the straps . Then, Mark and the others ran for the exit. I suddenly heard sirens. They looked back to see if i was following but my efforts to sit upright were in vain. The 3 others started bickering but all in whispers. A jolt of energy passed through me . I got up quietly , all the others staring, looking quite shocked. My head jerked in pain as I made efforts to move . I was in some loose white gown , the other were too except Mark. He was in his usual clothes, And something was quite obviously not happening according to plan. The sirens grew louder and fear and impatience filled the room. I tried to walk but I fell onto the cold floor and this alarmed the 3. Mark wrapped me in a tonne of sheets and they all pulled me . ...
