I Am

I will take your daughter. I will take your son. I will control their minds, their hearts, their souls. I will rip them from the inside out. From your family, and from their friends. They thought I was just a game. but its you who has no doubt. I'll take their everything. So be ever aware, I have taken them over. I am the monster that lives in the back of their heads. I'll make them crazy when they keep searching for me. They'll want more. Yet, when they run out of what I provide so is their sanity as I set it to the side. They will try to kick me out and clean up their life. You know I will always be in the back of their mind. I don't want to leave and may never go. You can help them make the choice between life and death; between God or me; They may find the key. They will lock me away. I was the drug they kept trying to find. Maybe then, they will learn what is on the line.

Many a kid has been lost to drugs, and no doubt many more will follow. The ones that survive sometimes go on to help the ones still struggling.

I am in recovery. There is no better way to help another get free than a person who is already in that boat. Recovery is a life choice that is for life. It is incurable but maintainable. Thank you for your comment.
