when i am gone i celebrate
myself, whom i have fought
i choose to not choose my own fate
as long as i do not get caught
for as reason unknown i seem to feel best
each time i put my morals to rest.

if in the long run i will feel pain
then pain is not healed with time
so if for now, it is keeping me sane
i believe no pain could be mine
who is to say if i'm right or i'm wrong
all i am doing is singing the world's song.

we all make our own choices,
at the risk of being hypocritical just look at this from all angles...

If i understand you peom your talking about "substance abuse" or whatever you want to call it maybe i missed the point entirely

and it sounds like youve made rational reasons for it.... i guess i was just asking to reconsider... or i could have inturpreted this completely wrong

kevin~~i wrote this when i was 17. the only thing i had done at that time was drink a few times, no other drugs or anything. i wrote this at a time in my life when i was struggling with the rights and wrongs in my life, you know? and i think that's how a lot of teens feel~~the whole 'should i be bad or good?' type of thing. it wasn't quite as serious as you took it, but thank you for your opinion!
