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.

Leave

Why can't you just leave ? Why do you take your time, I really won't grieve. Your presence is toxic, You make me feel sick You spoilt my Christmas Eve And new year too, Why can't you just leave? Why do you laugh shamelessly, When I tell you , that you live aimlessly. You still latch on to me And suck all the happiness away You've erased all my dreams and All the things I thought I could be. You threw away the keys. You thought making me a loser Would make you a winner. But it didn't make you any better. Why can't you just leave? Why do you wait for me to throw you away, And burn you ruthlessly. All you have showed me was how quickly you can dig your grave, Your one of those memories, I won't save 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
