Can't.....quite.....

You ever feel like no matter how hard you reach....
it seems that I reach for things only shortly after I push them away.
AA Meetings in Southside [ironically named "Northside"]
dirty faces with clean blood
wandering, staggering in at 11 o clock to confess
[You'd swear it was a religious gathering, slaves in need rushing inside to tell of sinful thoughts and doings.]
BUT OH NO, MA'AM...we are not a religious group,
"PRAISE GOD"...we are not affiliated with the church at all,

:: saying the Lord's prayer ::

"Addicts are a manipulative breed." Says the girl conning money out of her friend for gas and ciggarettes.
"I'll pay you back at the end of the month, you don't really need that money, do you?" Her mouth drools at the 5 dollars in her unfortunate friend's pocket.

{note: she will not pay her friend back and will, by the end of the month, actually try and convince this poor friend that she doesn't need her car or her left hand either.}
The point is: you are what you say you are.
Or for the weak-minded out there: you are what they say you are.
