Beware

I came in to your apartment entrance In someone's clothes to celebrate a happy Circumstance. Even though you didn't finance This reliance There was complaisance No definance Because of your continuance I soon had dominance. When you didn't have me you showed petulance And discordance. You had no chance Of deliverance From the death dance. Gone from your face is the radiance Of life as the ambulance Team loaded up your body with no utterance. You sent a message loud and clear as life Goes on that there are people who will always Want to enhance And advance Their life for an empty significant extravagance.

I hope you had a great Valentine's Day. I wrote this poem to show that some people start taking drugs with their friends thinking there is nothing wrong with it. Then they are hooked. It is horrible to watch family and friends trying to get off drugs. The sad part is a lot are dying. They just can't over come. My heart grieves for their families. I have a daughter who has over come drugs. I am thankful to the good Lord. I have a daughter I lost to drugs which has changed me. I have a son who is trying to over come drugs. There are so many more people. I hope this reminds them that there is no reason to take anything that is going to put a monkey on your back.
