Lifetime of Anguish
to be blunt
I have poisoned myself with substances for the past 20 years
everyday a piece of you disappears
you learn another life
one life is loving and caring
the other is lying and stealing
it becomes second nature
I wish I could take it all back
my adolescent years were destroyed by substances
this isn't a poem as much as a sad rant
its truth
youth have no shot as addicts
the cycle begins
