It Wasn'T His Fault

It wasn't his fault, He wanted to quit, I could see it in his eyes. He tried a couple of times but could not, Escape the devil's grip and all his lies It wasn't his fault, I swear He was just a kid when they took him there Yeah he was just a child in need of care But they took advantage of him and left him there Left him to suffer, left him to die He didn't even get the chance to say goodbye. It wasn't his fault and you know it It's yours and don't you dare try to deny it It was you, you did this, its all your fault You killed him and all the other kids who bought what you sold How could you be so cold? It wasn't his fault I swear to God He was just a pawn on this chess board He was no longer in control I looked into his eyes you and could no longer see his soul He was long gone before he took his last breath The rest was just a formality for his body to reunite with the earth Today I'm numb to all the jokes and the funny memes Cause yesterday we buried my brother with all his dreams

I am so sorry for your loss. Writing has a way to comfort the pain a little. Poetry like this inspires me to help the youth today.

Thank you Denise, yeah I also feel that the youth are in dire need of help with addiction of all sorts. But what can we do to help?
