Peer Pressure Using Drugs

I’m sorry mum,
But the boys made me do it,
I couldn’t help it,
They just said that I couldn’t hang around with them if I didn’t do it,
And you know that I want to fit in with them,
I just couldn’t help it.

They told me that it wouldn’t hurt me,
And I trusted them,
I really did.

Now, I am lying here with a sheet over my head,
I just didn’t think it would get this far,
I just didn’t.
