Poem Title:
Poem
This was written for a very close family member who had lost his way to drugs. I am so proud of him now, a few years later he has a family, a job and has a strength that many who have been in the situation he was in, sadly do not have. I sent him this poem when he was at his ultimate lowest and he said it made him look at what he had become.! He has kept it and said he doesnt mind me sharing it, even though it is so personal. What in Gods name are you thinking?? You have willing stepped into a trap. Walked straight in with your eyes open wide, To a place where few seldom come back! As the world around you ceases to matter, Everything you once cherished has gone. Oblivious you journey to destruction, Shunning wisdom, love or help from anyone. I sit here and hurt for what you’re doing, Crying tears that you don’t even deserve. Carried away by something that has swallowed you whole, As you fade further and further from this world. I could ask myself ‘why’ a thousand times or more, Rack my brain for a reason why. Nobody made you, the choice was yours, Yet unabashed I still sit here and cry. I cry for what I know you to be, And I cry for what you’ve become. You've turned your back on what matters the most, And succumbed to a habit, just to keep someone! I pray that in a moment of rational, You’ll take stock and want to escape. Take joy in what’s here and who loves you, And chew through your chains til they break. I hurt so much for how you are now, And I’d give anything for you to get through this. Just try to look at wisdom in the face, And runaway from temptations sinister kiss. You are loved!! xxxxxxx
