Poem Title:
Poem
She said she didn't care anymore, it's just not worth it The drugs too much of a lure that she just couldn't quit There didn't seem to be any hope no dreams to live for So hooked on that dope that nothing in life was for sure Each day she would travel in order to make her connection Oh how drugs will unravel and so oblivious in it's selection And finally there she was as the dealer was now in her sight She could almost feel the buzz and this false sense of might It was in returning to her car with that child and all his grace He said that's not who you are it's just life you're afraid to face In quickly looking away she turned to look at him once again Well what she would say, is the child wasn't there then The ride back was turbulent as this played through her head What had this all meant what this sweet little child had said Now back home all alone she looked at those drugs in her hand And like a light had shone she began feeling a love so grand Flushing them down the toilet as her parents walked in the door And as their eyes met she said I'm done with them, no more They helped in her difficult way and eventually she became clean Even with the simplest words we say oh how much they can mean
