Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

From Delightful To Druggie

She was hilarious, funny, perky.
Thrilling, lively, exciting and quirky.
Inspiring, frisky, and delightful.
Aspiring, whimsical, and insightful.

We all wanted to be her until drugs
Embraced her, and she dropped us for bad thugs.
Angry, despondent, living in gloom.
A grotesque shell of soul-sapping doom.

Repressed, smothered inside a self-imposed cave,
Depressed, dour, she met an early grave.
Elementary friends hugging in horror.
Hoping she’ll find relief on a distant shore.

Some do some don't the ones that don't make it I believe God did for her what she couldn't do for herself. He took her away from the addition and pain just like he did my daughter. Short sweet and right to the point. Caren Krutsinger February 25, 2019 at 9:04 PM It is so sad; they change personalities, not the same at all.
