Analysis of Fentanyl
I am small
I cause fear that will grip you
I am blue
I will promise you the world
I am strong
I will cause you to feel a great many things
I am white
I will help you relax
I promise to not hurt you
That is all you need
We can be friends
I will help you
Dizziness takes you
Drowsiness binds you
Shhh you are ok
I lied to you
Heart rate dropping
I will hurt you
I will make you limp
I did not hurt you
I killed you
You took me into your arms
Wanting a fun night
You got scared
But there is no hope now
What is this
It is too late
There not here in time
Your one of mine
I took your life and soul
I did cause pain
Come back they cry
Your mom on knees bent
Tears are being sent
Does not understand
I want daddy he demands
I took him
He is mine
Your father screams out a lament
My son, my son
Not my son
Was it worth it?
Oh, look the 6 o'clock news
We made the headline
We made the front page
“Young teen found dead “
This is you
In the spotlight
Remember what I said
I will not hurt you
I want to help you
I wrapped my deadly hands around the throat of your existence
I squeezed it till it was mine
But did I lie?
I did not hurt you
I hurt those around you
I hurt your mom
I killed her to with pain
I hurt your dad
HE will never be the same
I hurt your brothers
Tho they are closer
And your son learned to say no
So, my point
Leave me alone
Do not trust me
I will lie to you
I will break you
I will hurt your friends
I will hurt your family
I will manipulate you
I am small
I am mighty
I am strong
I am blue
I am white
I will hide in the news at night
And I will only come out in the daylight
When someone else
Lost my fight.
