Betrayed Again

Before you say you failed again, you must start. Even before pride can be lost, you must try. Tell me you have begun, without any part, Realize that waiting is not enough for a cry. Again you say, tried I have and failed myself. You must commence an action for it to fail. Early on, we learn that pride sets on a shelf. Dear sweet one; you have my faith for sale. Another year has passed; I shared your burden. Gaining hope; expecting some movement at first. Ageless drug obligation in youth an overburden, I had faith, funds of love, I made matters worst. Now betrayed, I await downfall, I unburden. for contest by Olusegun Adelana

Pride does take a back seat when drug abuse comes into play, Cecil. And it requires a lot of effort to overcome addition. You have stirred quite a bit of emotion in the reader with this write, my friend. Well done! Love, Carolyn
