Get It Out!

I wrote this about a dear friend. He's on the right track, but he keeps slipping.

Lie to me
I do not care
But I'm not the one to judge
But just a bit
Just here and there
It still won't let you budge
You play me like I'm stupid
You play me like a fool
But you're over here with hollow eyes
Lying in your drool

I just want to see you doing well
You were escaping from your hell
But you can't resist it
Just gotta have a taste
After seeing it destroy your friends
And lay some of them to waste
How could you stand the consequence
How could you bear the taste
Where is your hollow mind
What makes you lose your place
You have so much potential, man
You gotta keep your forward pace

Get back on track
Back on the grind
Get you back to yourself
Please, man, get ahold of your mind!

Just a suggestion... You could turn this into a song. I tried to sing it and it works really well. You would just need a chorus.

I agree with Sam Dickens, It does hurt to watch someone you care about do this.

It is painful to watch someone you care about destroy themselves. Frustrating, too, when you do your best to help them, only to be ignored. Sometimes they just have to save themselves.
