Poem
Once upon a time I used to be your addiction Now you're living in a world where you can't tell the difference between fact and fiction Your habits are slowly killing you and they're killing all of us too Wish you weren't so blinded to all that you're putting us all through I try hard to understand and place myself in your shoes Been patiently wanting to see you better, but it's what you have to choose When you wake loved ones are telling you of actions you regret Staying in denial is an easier way of coping then owning up to it so you pick your poison to forget There's so much to gain and yet so much to lose You have to stop playing with fire and continuing to abuse You fill your body with so much toxic pollution Open your eyes and see there's a different solution They watch you slip from good to bad, bad to worse It's not a blessing,only a curse Love and family were once your priority, now you have a one track mind Your only thought these days are where your next fix will come that you'll find Even if you can't see it you're worth so much more and have so much potential Find your strength and stick around for your kids it's essential They have impressionable young minds and need you, we all do Remember they look up to and are always watching you You don't want to lose your job over a buzz Sooner or later it will catch up and there will be trouble with the fuzz We worry everytime you fall off of the wagon and relapse We pray this won't be the time you overdose and collapse There are so many other things that can make you feel high on life and give you an adrenaline rush Find something you're passionate about even if it's as simple as a loved ones touch Broken promises and lies destroy yourself,family, and friends It's time to pick up the broken pieces and make amends Some days it feels as if you are a complete stranger There's so much on the line you need to quit putting yourself and others in danger Past mistakes don't define who you are,it's not too late to take your life back Take the reigns and control of your destiny, we want to see you succeed and get back on the right track Peer pressure is awful, but you don't have to follow the crowd We're here to love and support you, we know you'll make us all proud You have the power within you to make a change, nothing is ever set in stone Choose a new path and blaze a trail all of your own Don't you give up, it's not too late Make a different choice today and change your own fate
