"...do it for yourself cuz no one sees the world through your eyes"

My name is dizzy and I just want to share my story. I don't know what good it will do but maybe it'll help someone else see the doorway in the concrete room I used to be confined to... I was eating pain killers and zanny bars like a child would candy and to wash it all down I drank myself to sleep. I used to blame it on my mother and father who never really gave damn about me but I was only 14 so I was just looking for a reason.

By the age of 16 I had found a drug that was perfect for me: "powder." It kept me up while I was waisting my life away.

I was never not high and my addiction got so bad I started doing some shit im not proud of to get what I wanted. It all caught up to me at the age of 17 when I was locked up for burglary, 2nd degree position of two hand guns and a ounce of weed. I was sentenced to 14 months in juvi.

Well I had plenty of time to think about my life while I was in there and I saw where I was headed and that's not where I wanted to go.....I was realeased 6 months ago and im happy to say im clean and work a full time job :3.

Guess all im tryn to say is no matter where u come from or where you been there is a day to change, but its your choice -- do it for yourself cuz no one sees the world through your eyes
