Unable To See

Your life was a whirlwind full of clouds and fog unable to see People held out their hand to help you, feed you, clothe you, unable to see You chose a life of drugs and destruction choas, hunger, and dirt unable to see You sold everything you had for a drug called crystal myth unable to see You just needed to escape the pain, confusion, and neglect unable to see You answered their call ingesting more, losing cells unable to see You were slowly deteroiating body thinning, fading skin unable to see You had many hands to hold Mother, brother, grandmother unable to see You were taken from us and now we are unable to see. Holly P. Moore August 2012
