Just Like the Others

" Just Like The Others " They found her near the rivers bank as the sun rose in the mornings rain her body beaten and bloody with no clothes her precious life went down the drain. This young girl was such an angel her feathers ripped from off her wing they found her broken golden halo as the church bells softly ring. She was a families special daughter her loving heart was full of glee her childhood was love and laughter she had a closeknit family. Soon she faced her teenage years Just Like The Others can't you see they all had some fun with alcohol which led to speed and ecstasy. All teens will bow to peer pressures she tried these things onto the next and of course she had no creed not until she boast of sex. Sliding down further a twisted spiral sadly another young wasted life drinks, drugs and sex will take their toll a young childs life is full of strife. Many bad things done to fuel her habit had caused her to lose her self control to feed her cravings and ease the pain this young girl has sold her soul. She is so young and just turned twenty one the last few years have not been kind her pride and beauty is now all gone the drinks and drugs have destroyed her mind. Now she has taken to using needles this young girl has fully given in no more speed nor ecstasy she is using heroin. This young girl now street parades in high heels and real short skirts gaining her money for her drugs and she is treated just like dirt. Now there is no longer any help for her she has thrown it all away trying bad things unto the next soon with her life she will pay. Its sad to think we all have failed her by ignoring all of the destructive signs because we always let this happen repeated again time after time. We blame the media and this age by branding the young folks all the same citing the drugs and a drunken binge its sad we never take the blame. These precious youngs ones are our kids why have we let them all fall down? Were we too busy not to see? To watch them flounder and slowly drown. Yes, they found her near the rivers bank as the sun rose in the mornings rain her body beaten and bloody with no clothes her precious life went down the drain...

You give such a clear message here, sadly most everyone has or had an addict in their family, so this touches many people's hearts. I love reading your words MPK, as always your biggest fan...Aleera

This is so real, so heartbreaking, and the message so clear...if people in power, would use their power to get help for these lost ones that would be a start...I have heard of drug users being locked up only to be offered a deal, and then put right back on the street, how insane can they be....if one has a problem, and people in power know it, aren't they responsible to get them the help they need..I will never understand how they think....knowing good and well what they will do. always, Christy
