Poem
Drug Addiction and suicide are no joke. Some people find it entertaining when those individuals croak. Recovering and living I've seen both sides I just wish people could live their lives. Whether it's a pill, powder, or a needle This epidemic can be unspeakable. Whether it's a rope, gun, or a razor. Society can make you feel crazier. The addictions and the feelings are real But unfortunately not everyone can heal These things are not one bit bias. Our surroundings are what supply us. I've lost many to these addictions. I was lucky enough to leave these conditions. Ones I've loved and lost I wont forget. Not helping more is definitely a regret. There was a boy that was 18yrs old. His heart not one bit cold. Always laughing and smiling. But on the inside he was dying. He couldn't deal with the pain no more. He felt it deep inside of his core. At home he took a gun to his head. That's where his parents found him dead. There was a girl that was 22yrs of age. Always in life she was engaged. Her huge hugs that held me tight. It seemed her life was full of light. But then one day just changed it all. I guess she felt she couldn't fall. A needle in her arm led her to an overdose. Lost yet another one that was so close. A hard working man 37 and strong. Always made people fell like they belong. Family was his always his number one. He got clean and figured he was done. But the addiction took over one night. Unfortunately he couldn't keep the fight. The needle took him to a new place. Now our earth cant ever see his face. Beautiful and young another one. Always happy and free and we had fun. We would joke and laugh through the night. Life had its struggles and that was in sight. She couldn't continue on no more. Her insides became way to sore. She took her own life in a blink of an eye. Didnt tell anyone she wanted to die. 26 a mother, still young and free. Always was a happy smile she could see. She had no fears in the world. Everything in life must have twirled. She gave in to her addictions. She believed in every last conviction. Her life was taken by an overdose. There's no set lethal dose. They dont all end bad, some turn out right. Some are accidental, others are what's in sight. But education and understanding is key. If lowering the count is what we want to see.
