A Reality Unreal

Stuck it seems in this bottomless pit Her life through the eye end of a needle What's now become a life time habbit For which she'd do anything even steal But l don't understand ;as l don't do it So could not know how she dose feel When she tells me that she's lost her hit Because it's now started to conjeal Though at times l would have to admit I don't blame her as much those that deal I only wish there would be a day she'd quit As even now this reality that seems so unreal A part two prequal to poem A STARK REALITY About a friend ex though l could blame government l Letting this go on for so long

An expressive and thought-provoking write, David... It is hard to understand why people do things that are bad for them... All we can do is try to understand it, then maybe we can help them stop...

That sounds like a frustrating circumstance to be in David. I have a brother who is addicted to drugs and it is heartbreaking to see him this way. “ But l don't understand ;as l don't do it” looking in from the outside , yes, it is difficult to understand for sure! Always, Laura
